Empower Women Pod - The Encore

We’d like to thank Ellen Glickman-Simon for hosting our April 12th Empower Women Event, Estate Planning for Serenity and Empowerment. An increased sense of serenity and empowerment are two of the main reasons to plan for your legal health. Many of us, especially parents of young children, do not realize how comforting it can be to have a plan in place in case of illness or death. Instead, we feel apprehensive about the choices involved in the estate planning process: who to name as beneficiaries, fiduciaries (e.g., health care agents), or guardians. While it takes courage to do this work and discipline to make the time to do it, the rewards are great. Feelings of relief, pride, empowerment, and solace often follow a completed estate plan. Ellen offered a manageable, step-by-step approach to creating your Will, Health Care Proxy, Durable Power of Attorney, Trust (for certain situations) and related estate planning documents.
