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.
