Estate Planning: It is
for everyone, Tuesday, May 27,
6:30 pm
If you haven't addressed your
Estate Plan, could it be because you: Are not intending to die anytime soon?
Find the subject too confusing or overwhelming? Believe your estate is too
small to bother? An estate plan is highly individualized. There is no one size
fits all. It is essential to obtain qualified legal and financial advice. Alex
Yiokarinis, Estate Planning Attorney with Taylor and Yiokarinis, PLLC, and
Felicia Leighton-Ibbotson, Financial Advisor with Waddell & Reed, have come
together to help educate you about the importance of having an estate plan to
ensure that your wishes will be followed upon your death, or should you become
incapacitated. Please sign up for this program at the library front desk.
