Estate Planning: When Someone Dies

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 7 PM – 9PM.



We hope we have planned for it, but
death happens, too often sooner than we would expect it, and catches us by
surprise. If you have lost a loved one, or know someone who has, do you know
what your next steps should be? We will talk about retitling accounts, clearing
title to real property and transferring motor vehicles. We will talk about the
differences between dying with a fully funded trust, a properly executed will,
and dying without any written estate plan in place. We will address some of the
important first steps to take in the administration of a trust or probate
estate. We will also talk about some of the steps you can take to avoid some of
the potential pitfalls of having no plan in place. It is recommended that
you take the Estate Planning 'Introduction' class before the
workshop 'When Someone Dies'.  $32.00 Fee is per couple. Register
