You don’t have to be wealthy to need an estate plan. Estate planning is the process of
designating who will receive your assets and handle your responsibilities when you’re
no longer able. While none of us wants to think about dying or being incapacitated,
improper estate planning -- or having no plan at all (big mistake) -- can lead to family
disputes, long court litigation, loss of privacy, and excess money paid in taxes. In this 3-
part series, you’ll learn proactive steps you can take now to help settle your life’s affairs
later. Attend one or participate in all three!
-
Monday, 2/28 @ 6:30 pm When to Take Away Dad’s Keys. A discussion about age, insight, capacity, agency, and the law.
-
Monday, 3/28 @ 6:30 pm Life and Death Decisions. What you need to know to act as a healthcare agent for your loved one.
-
Monday, 4/25 @ 6:30 pm Anticipate family conflicts. Often, family conflicts are just below the surface or are kept in check while the parents are alive. These conflicts can erupt after one or both parents pass.
Monona Public Library Foundation presents this estate planning series featuring
Amanda Pirt Meyer from Haskins Short & Brindley in Monona.
