10 Things We Probably Should Get Taken Care Of

Join us for an engaging 60-minute session filled with education, light humor, and practical advice. The events of recent years have reminded us how quickly life can change, making it more important than ever to have accurate, up-to-date plans in place.

In this class, we’ll cover key components of end-of-life planning, including powers of attorney, wills, trusts, health care directives, funeral or cremation wishes, and long-term care options. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what these documents mean, how they work together, and why they matter.

This program is a valuable opportunity to dispel common myths, reduce uncertainty, and get straightforward answers to your questions—helping you feel more confident and prepared for the future.
