About this Event

Are you interested in estate planning? Maybe you're having trouble getting started because you're stuck in research mode or overwhelmed with the amount of information available?

That’s why we’re hosting How to Create a Thoughtful, Organized Plan for Your Family’s Future, a free educational workshop designed to provide you with the clarity and confidence you need to make informed decisions about your estate plan.



Why Attend This Workshop?


Many people assume estate planning is only about writing a will. In reality, a well-structured estate plan can help:

Avoid probate and minimize unnecessary legal fees
Protect your assets and ensure they’re distributed according to your wishes
Prevent family conflict by providing clear instructions
Ensure financial and healthcare decisions are handled the way you want
Provide for your loved ones in a tax-efficient way

This workshop will help you understand your options and guide you toward a personalized plan that works for your specific needs and goals.



What You’ll Learn


At this workshop, we’ll break down the estate planning process in easy-to-understand terms and provide real-life examples to illustrate how proper planning can make all the difference.



The Importance of Thoughtful Estate Planning

Estate planning isn’t just about what happens after you pass away—it’s about protecting yourself and your family during your lifetime as well. We’ll discuss:

  • Why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work
  • The biggest mistakes people make when planning their estate
  • How to create a plan that aligns with your unique goals and values



Understanding Your Options: Wills vs. Trusts and More

There’s a lot of misinformation about estate planning, and many people don’t realize the impact of choosing the wrong approach. We’ll cover:

  • The differences between a will and a trust—and when to use each
  • How a trust can help your family avoid probate and gain immediate access to assets
  • The role of powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives in protecting your wishes



Common Misconceptions and Costly Mistakes to Avoid

Many well-intentioned decisions can backfire if not structured properly. We’ll go over:

  • Why “simple wills” often won't accomplish your goals unless you want the bare minimum for your family
  • Common mistakes where people don't look far enough into the future
  • Shortcuts that can result in disaster



Who Should Attend?


Anyone who doesn’t have an estate plan yet – If you’ve been putting it off, this workshop will give you the knowledge and motivation to start.
Anyone who already has a plan who wants to ensure their plan fits with their goals – People who attend our presentations often tells us they would have done things differently with their estate plan if they knew everything they learned at our presentation.
Anyone looking for peace of mind – If you are ready to stop worrying about what will happen to your family if you don’t make a plan, this workshop is for you.



Why Now?


Estate planning is one of those things that many people put off—until it’s too late. But unexpected events can happen at any time, and having a solid plan in place is the best way to protect your family from unnecessary stress and financial hardship.

This workshop is your opportunity to gain experienced guidance, ask questions, and take proactive steps toward securing your future.
