Estate Planning & How to Get Started -

No one wants to face a crisis or stressful situation unprepared, but that is what happens when we don’t plan ahead. Just as you plan for unexpected events with emergency supplies and contingency plans, having a will, power of attorney, and healthcare directives in place helps avoid confusion and stress during already difficult times. Estate planning plays a crucial part of emergency preparedness by providing clear instructions and legal authority to ensure your wishes are followed and your loved ones are protected in the event of your death or incapacitation.

Join us for a free workshop on estate planning basics, including wills, powers of attorney, and key documents to help you plan ahead with confidence.

Perfect for those new to the process.

Two sessions will be offered, one virtual and one in-person. Each session will cover similar topics.

When:

• August 20th - 12:00pm to 1:00pm [Virtual]
• September 17th - 6:00pm to 7:00pm [In-Person] Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center 1192 US 64 W. Business Pittsboro, NC 27312

Registration is required to attend either session. Please note that space for the in-person session is limited.

This workshop will be brought to you in partnership with Munson Law Firm.
