“Not Your Mother’s Estate Plan”

Estate planning has changed—and so have the lives, families, and challenges people face today. “Not Your Mother’s Estate Plan” breaks down why traditional, one-size-fits-all planning often falls short and what a modern estate plan should really include. In this program, Melissa will discuss how thoughtful, proactive planning can help individuals and families protect their wishes, maintain control, and avoid unnecessary stress down the road—especially during times of illness, incapacity, or transition.

What to Expect

• Why outdated estate plans may no longer reflect today’s realities

• The difference between wills and trusts—and what each can (and can’t) do

• How to plan for incapacity and ensure someone can step in if needed

• Common planning gaps that lead to delays, confusion, or court involvement

• Practical steps to update or create a plan that fits your life now

There will be a light breakfast and dedicated time for networking.

All are welcome but space is limited.  Registration is required.
