What You Think You Know Could Cost Your Family
Many people believe they’ve “got it covered” because they have a Will. But that’s often the beginning of the misunderstanding—not the end. In this eye-opening one-hour session, we’ll walk through the 10 most common myths and mistakes people make when planning (or failing to plan) their estates. From thinking Wills avoid Probate (they don’t) to misunderstanding the roles of Powers of Attorney, Trusts, and Health Care Directives, this workshop will help you separate fact from fiction—and prevent your loved ones from dealing with legal and financial headaches down the road.

Perfect for anyone who wants straightforward answers and honest insight—without the jargon or intimidation. Presented by Jeff Litfin, Certified Estate Planner with Generations Legal Services.

Insurance policies? Medical wishes? What if you’re divorced? Own a business? Have a blended family? What about property you may own or pets you care deeply about? Who will know what to do if you aren’t around to tell them? Should you consider a Trust? In this educational workshop, you will learn the 25 documents most experts recommend you collect and maintain so family members aren’t left scrambling to find important papers and information in a time of loss and confusion.
