Volunteers Assisting Seniors Offering Basic Estate Planning Workshop

What steps do you need to take to outline what you want to have happen to your assets upon your death? Have you designated who you want to handle your personal and financial affairs in the event you become incapacitated? If you already have an estate plan in place, do you know how often you should review it?  Volunteers Assisting Seniors (VAS) is offering a Basic Estate Planning workshop to help answer those questions. The workshop will cover lifetime planning (financial and medical powers of attorney, living wills, succession planning), wills, living or revocable trusts, alternatives and supplements to wills, taxes related to death, and mistakes to avoid in your planning. A volunteer attorney will present the workshop at the VAS office at the Center Mall, 1941 S. 42nd Street, Suite #312. There is no charge to attend the workshop. For more information on the next available workshop, please call VAS at (402) 444-6617.
