Everyone needs a plan, no matter your income or situation!

ESTATE PLANNING BASICS

June 4, 2024, 5:30-7:00pm

Bank West Community Room
1920 N Sanborn Blvd, Mitchell, SD

Learn the basics of what every family should do to protect your home, retirement and children, and pass on a legacy you’ve spent a lifetime trying to build. Through real-life stories and easy to understand legal principles this workshop will focus on a number of estate planning topics such as: Financial Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, Last Will and Testament, Legacy Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts, Revocable Trusts, and more. Attendees will receive materials that can be used in their own individual and/or family estate planning.

You will learn how to…

  • Name a guardian for a minor child or grandchild
  • Avoid a long and expensive court process known as probate
  • Make sure the money you leave behind would be immediately and privately available to your family
  • Protect your spouse and children’s inheritance from creditors, predators, future divorces, and lawsuits
  • Make your medical wishes known and ensure they are honored
  • Leave behind far more than just money
