Wills, Advance Directives and Beneficiary Issues
November 5, 6-7 pm at The Center
Although issues such as wills, advance directives and beneficiary matters are important at any age, there are particular legal and financial documents that become progressively more important to address as we grow older. The LGBT community must be proactive in determining which of their loved ones have the power to make medical decisions, legal authority over financial matters and primary care providers. Equally important are addressing decisions regarding your loved ones and how they will be provided for in the event of your death. Danielle Barger/The Law Office of Danielle P. Barger, APC, Tracy Webster/Webster Insurance Agency and Kelly Nilsson/MetLife will be speaking on these important topics and how you and your family can protect yourselves.
