Elder Law with Doris Gelbman

Why do I need an estate plan? Many people have no idea of the complications that can arise when they fail to plan where there “stuff” goes when they die.   It can cost a great deal of money – in attorney’s fees, taxes, interest, fines and other expenses. Most people can manage estate planning with a simple Will and perhaps some other maneuvers to keep certain assets out of Probate. Others may need to consider creating a Trust. Starting to sound like Greek to you? What’s probate? What’s the difference between a Will and a Trust? How do I “avoid probate” and do I have to?  Attendees will gain an understanding of more than the basics and perhaps have a much clearer idea of your own needs to plan for the transfer of your property in the future.
