Estate Planning 101

Service Description

Take the mystery out of the many issues surrounding planning for the end of life or serious illness. End-of-life planning is a hard thing to ace, and it's made even more difficult by confusion and misunderstanding regarding legal issues. Participants will gain a better understanding of their options and receive practical advice in plain English regarding wills, trusts, power of attorney, living trusts and administering an estate following death. Questions addressed include: What's the job of an estate administrator? What is the difference between a will and a trust? Is a will necessary to appoint a guardian for children? Can a power of attorney just be downloaded from the internet? There will be time for individual questions. Erica Johnson is an attorney and partner, estate planner and frequent presenter.
