Estate Planning Workshop Presented by Estate Planning&Preservation Law Office

Have you been meaning to get your will done for a while now, but just can't find the time, or are afraid going to a lawyer will be too expensive?

Every year, about half of the Americans who die,
do so without even a simple will. Many more become mentally incapacitated due to old age
and disease or accidents, but without legal agreements allowing their loved ones to make decisions. Why? The perceived cost and inconvenience of working with a lawyer.
.
Our Two-Hour Workshop is just what They (and You) Need. You'll go home with:
your valid New Hampshire Last Will and Testament, which says who should be the guardian of your children if you are no longer around, and who will get your money and other property after you're gone;
a Financial Power of Attorney, which allows your loved ones to make decisions about your money and property when you cannot; and
a Healthcare Power of Attorney, which allows your loved ones to make decisions about your care if you cannot
a Living Will, which expresses your wishes for end-of-life care
During the workshop, Attorney Donald H. Sienkiewicz will explain what these documents do, what you need to do to ensure their effectiveness, and when it is appropriate to upgrade this basic estate plan with a living trust. You'll also leave knowing how to take advantage of the beneficiary designation forms that come with your financial accounts. Finally, you'll understand what probate is and how to avoid it.

Donald explains the complexities of estate planning with humor and in simple terms. You'll leave feeling empowered by your new knowledge, and relieved to have gotten this important task done - simply and inexpensively.

Workshop fee for individuals: $399
Workshop fee for married couples: $599

We're so confident you'll find our workshop enjoyable, informative and useful, that at the end of the evening,if you're not satisfied, we'll give you your money back.
