Fridays, April 5 & 12, 2024

Have you updated addresses for your beneficiaries with banks and agencies? Who knows where your storage unit or lockbox are? Many folks have a will and most have a game plan in their mind, but whether they have shared these with family members or executors is often a question. Instructor Barbara Bush notes, "The best deaths I have seen are when the business of end-of-life matters is taken care of by you." Information on property decisions, material goods, executor duties, celebrations, getting your family involved with positivity….and so many more topics will be covered in this two-part, open format course.
