Estate planning is an essential step in preparing for your future. Having a thorough understanding of certain terms and various legal instruments is vital to accomplishing your basic estate planning goals. Learn how you can protect your family and your assets and avoid causing your loved ones undue stress by attending this webinar.

The Society of Certified Senior Advisors invites professionals to participate in our upcoming webinar, Surprising Things You Don’t Know about Wills. Author and Lecturer on Estate Planning, J. Mark Fisher, will host this live webinar to discuss the most common estate planning instruments associated with wills and trusts. He will address topics which include:

What can a will accomplish?

• The expense of bond premiums, required of the person managing your estate if there is no will, may be waived in the will and possibly avoided.
• Real estate and other assets may be sold without court proceedings if your Will adequately authorizes it.
• A trust may be created in a Will whereby the estate or a portion of the estate will be kept intact with income distributed for the benefit of members of the family or others.

“Most individuals are surprised to learn that a will does not control everything upon death and many are confused about Power of Attorney issues, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)” – J. Mark Fisher

This presentation is free for members only and will be held on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 at 12 PM (MST). Members of the public may register for a fee of $49. Register for this live event today at www.csa.us/UpcomingEvents

ABOUT SCSA. SCSA was established in 1997 to enhance education and standards among professionals working with senior citizens. SCSA’s mission is to educate professionals to work more effectively with their senior clients. We believe that the right kind of planning, recommendations and referrals can make aging a state to be savored instead of a fate to fear. For those who work with seniors, this means understanding the key health, social and financial factors that are important to seniors—and how these factors work together. CSAs are able to integrate this into their professional practices, no matter what field they’re in. They’ve learned how incredibly gratifying it is to help seniors achieve their goals, and the seniors they’ve worked with have learned how important it is to work with someone who truly understands their age-related circumstances.
