You may think that drafting an estate plan is straightforward, but in reality if you do it wrong, you are jeopardizing everything you have worked for. Just because you have a Will or trust does not mean you have covered your bases. What is the difference between a Will and a trust? Why won’t a Will be sufficient by itself? Do you need a power of attorney and what should it say? What about health care directives? Should you add your children’s names to your bank accounts? We will share real-life stories showing you the dangers of common estate planning mistakes such as using incorrect phrases in your documents or omitting important ones. We’ll also spend some time talking about the probate process.
