Discover How to Protect Your Assets and Provide for Your Loved Ones
Are you ready to begin making decisions that will protect your independence and ability to stay in control if you get sick or need long-term care in the future?
This is geared as basic education for those who have not started any estate planning but should also be useful to those who have old or out-of-state plans. ATTENDEES WILL RECEIVE A FREE, PERSONALIZED NO-OBLIGATION INITIAL CONSULTATION, up to 90 minutes, valued at $650.
Who Should Attend This Seminar?
If you don’t currently have a plan in place to protect your family and assets… or if it’s been at least three years since you’ve last looked at your old estate plan.
At this seminar, we will discuss several issues including:
- The advantages and disadvantages of both Wills and Living Trusts
- How Probate works and, more importantly, how you may avoid Probate altogether!
- Maintaining your privacy and protecting yourself and your spouse against guardianship or a “living probate” if one of you becomes disabled
- Planning before you need Long Term Care
- Why putting property in children’s names may be a mistake
- Protecting your children’s inheritance from their future ex-spouses, lawsuits, and other claims
- Preserving your estate for your kids if your surviving spouse gets remarried
- Preserving your estate when you have minor children, divorces and/or a blended family, or special health and welfare concerns
We encourage you to bring your spouse or a friend you feel would benefit from this powerful information.
