Estate Planning for All (Virtual)
The Cambridge Public Library and Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School are excited to offer Estate Planning for All. Estate plans can help you prepare for unexpected changes, offer a sense of security in uncertain times, and ensure that your wishes will be carried out if you become ill, incapacitated, or die unexpectedly. Everyone—regardless of background or financial situation—can have an estate plan.
We will discuss:
Financial issues during our lifetimes: power of attorney, homestead declaration, and trusts
Health and medical issues: health care proxy, medical directives, and HIPAA authorization
Preparing for death: wills and declaration as to remains
Estate planning issues specific to veterans and individuals with disabilities will also be discussed.
This webinar will be presented on Zoom. Registrants may phone in if preferred. Zoom information will be sent to registrants before the session.
