Planning ahead for the transfer of your property is one of the best gifts you can give your family—peace of mind. But what happens when a Delaware homeowner passes away without a valid will? The result can be a “tangled title”, when the name of the person living in the home is not on the deed.
Four Delaware nonprofits received 2025 AARP Community Challenge grants totaling $37,500 to help fund quick-turnaround projects aimed at making communities more livable.
A new AARP survey, released in conjunction with Social Security’s 90th anniversary, confirms that Americans highly value Social Security, and even more so than five years ago. The vast majority of Americans – 95% of Republicans, 98% of Democrats, and 93% of Independents – consider Social Security vital to the financial security of all Americans, and 67% believe it is even more important for retirees than it was five years ago.
Senator Chris Coons joined AARP Delaware State Director Lucretia Young for a conversation about the future and solvency of Social Security. Social Security's 90th Anniversary is August 14th. Listen in on AARP Delaware's Facebook page.
AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2019 Delaware Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50+ Delawareans who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.
Even the most experienced drivers can benefit from brushing up on their driving skills. Why? Cars have changed, and so have traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day. A quick refresh of your skills can help you drive safer and longer. It ensures that you can easily get behind the wheel and go to the doctor, supermarket and to fun social events that keep you active.
AARP was founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired educator from California. As we celebrate our 60th birthday, we stay true to her original mission by creating positive social change through advocacy, service and information for Delawareans age 50-plus, and their families. The drive, innovation and compassion of our founder continue to inspire our work as we dedicate ourselves to improving lives, standing up to injustice and transforming the marketplace. We aim to empower people to choose how they live as they age.
Delaware’s Senate passed the Share the Care Act, SB 27, this week by a vote of 20-0. AARP is working with a statewide coalition of partners to pass the bill, and this vote moves it one step closer to becoming a law in Delaware.
