How to Protect Your Family, Your Life and Your Future

Generally, most people don’t even think about having - much less using - an estate plan until something catastrophic happens to a loved one, such as a fatal accident, diagnosis of a terminal illness, incapacity or sudden death.

During this period of extreme emotional distress and grief, family members are often left with no clear direction, no legal authority to make decisions and no legal right to property, as well as heavy debt or estate taxes.

Because the consequences can be emotionally and financially devastating, estate planning and elder law attorney Tracy Willi believes every family should have an effective estate plan in place, even if they don’t need it for years or decades to come.

In her talk, “How to Protect Your Family, Your Life and Your Future,” Tracy will share with your members:

• Why having just a will isn’t enough
• How they can protect their assets from long term care costs
• How they can avoid probate and its procedures, expenses and attorney’s fees
