Of Interest: An Inclusive Approach to Estate Planning
Wednesday, January 13, 10:00amSenior Law Day Collaborative is offering this free webinar:
We often make the mistake of thinking that estate planning is for someone else. Someone older, someone with more money, someone with children or someone with a complicated family situation. However, everyone can benefit from creating an estate plan regardless of their age or net worth as a Will or a Trust gives you control over where your assets go after death. We will discuss the planning process and the questions you should ask your attorney so you can take the next steps planning for your children, pets, financial accounts, cars, homes, charitable organizations and collectible items no matter what they are worth. The presenter is Kadeen Wong, Esq., of Kurzman, Eisenberg, Corbin & Lever, LL.
