Creating a Strong Estate Plan

Creating a Strong Estate Plan 

November 12th at 6:00 p.m.


Join us at the Sherman Library as we host “Creating a Strong Estate Plan: Protect Your Family and Your Finances” presented by attorney Lynda Lee Arnold on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:00 p.m.


Whether you are a planner or a procrastinator, having a strong and up-to-date estate plan should be at the top of your to-do list. In addition to providing the peace of mind of knowing your final wishes will be legally documented, an estate plan provides a roadmap for your loved ones to know how to care for you if you are no longer able to care for yourself and/or your financial and legal affairs. In this information session, you will learn about important estate planning documents like wills, powers of attorney (POA), advance directives, and trusts, and the purpose and powers included in each. Furthermore, we’ll examine what happens if you don’t have a will when you pass away, how your estate gets divided amongst your heirs, who can pay your bills if you can’t, how to choose your power of attorney and health care agents, and some common estate planning mistakes that you will want to avoid. Even if you have already created an estate plan, discover when and if you should have your existing documents reviewed and updated.


Attorney Lynda Lee Arnold is a senior partner at Czepiga Daly Pope & Perri with offices in Berlin, Madison, New Milford, Simsbury and South Windsor. The practice specializes in estate planning, elder law, probate and special needs planning.
