Wild & Wise: Wills, POAs & Personal Directives — The Real Talk
Most of us put this off. It feels morbid, or expensive, or like something for “later.” Then something happens — a health scare, a parent's decline, a friend's mess to untangle — and everyone wishes they'd just done the paperwork.
Wild & Wise is The Den's expert-led gathering series: one trusted expert, a warm and judgment-free room, and everyone leaves knowing more than they walked in with. For November we're joined by Leigh-Anna, a paralegal with Barnes Paralegal Services, for the real talk on wills, enduring powers of attorney, and personal directives — what each one actually does, the mistakes people make, and what happens to your family if you never get around to it.
What we'll cover:
- What a Will, an Enduring Power of Attorney, and a Personal Directive each actually do — and why you need all three, not just one
- The misconceptions Leigh-Anna sees most often in her practice
- Real-life examples of what happens when a family doesn't have these documents in place
- Practical next steps for getting your own in order
This is relaxed and practical, not a legal seminar. Then we open the floor for Q&As.
She's bringing information on Barnes Paralegal Services for anyone who wants it, and a little something special for the Lionesses in the room.
Who this is for: any woman who's been meaning to get this sorted and hasn't, or wants to understand it before she does.
About The Den
The Den is a community for women who are ready to remember who they are — and brave enough to be her, out loud, in a room full of other women doing the same. It's judgment-free and forward-moving: we hold room for the hard things, and then we choose forward. The Den is not a group. It is a pride. And lionesses are better together.
We are women. Hear us roar.
