Financial and Legal Planning at End-of-Life: Core Considerations
Live Online Webinar with The Peaceful Presence Project and Two Spruce Law
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 from 5:00-6:15 pm Pacific Time
End-of-life planning extends beyond mere tax considerations. It involves ensuring that your wishes are legally, medically, and financially acknowledged and honored. In this workshop, we will delve into the intricacies and advantages of proactive estate planning. Topics will include strategies to sidestep the costly and lengthy probate process, essential insights into the fundamentals of a revocable living trust (and techniques to mitigate or eliminate the impact of the Oregon Estate Tax through tax planning language), and the significance of appointing a power of attorney for financial needs and an advanced directive for healthcare matters. Presenters will also address planning for pets and second marriages.
This workshop is designed for those who seek to delve deeper into understanding the financial and legal aspects of end-of-life care. Equip yourself with the knowledge and resources needed to confidently navigate this pivotal stage of life with assurance and clear understanding.
We are committed to making our programming accessible to all. If the $25 tuition creates a financial barrier to your participation, please email info@thepeacefulpresenceproject.org to request scholarship assistance.
