Wills and Estate Planning [webcast]

If you’re supporting a family member with a disability, one of the most important steps you can take to help secure their future is to have a will and estate plan in place.

Join us on October 28th at 7pm EDT for the Wills and Estate Planning webcast, where we discuss the fundamental elements of an estate plan, setting up a will, and other important considerations families must be aware of when future planning for a family member with a disability.

What’s in it for you:

  • An understanding of the fundamental elements of an estate plan;
  • An overview of how to get started in setting up a will;
  • A breakdown of different types of trusts people typically include in a will;
  • An overview of the two types of Power of Attorney; 
  • An opportunity to connect with other families in our Virtual Discussion Groups;
  • A digital workbook filled with free legal resources, worksheets and practical next steps that will support you in taking action.
