Forwarded from Diane Rosenberg, drosenb...@lisco.com Dear Friends,
This is a personal email from me. My friend, David Sykes, is offering a valuable seminar this weekend on modern legal estate planning. Until recently, I’ve always thought that all that was needed was a Will to easily pass assets and belongings on to loved ones. But I’ve seen firsthand that’s not the case – that a Will alone is not enough to avoid the stressful, detailed, time-consuming and expensive probate process. However, probate IS avoidable. Check out this announcement, below. If you want to learn more, come to Revelations on Saturday, March 17 at noon to hear how Wills and Trusts together can save your loved ones a lot of hassle and expense at a time when they are not going to need more stress in their lives. Best regards, Diane Why a Will Is Not Enough – A Presentation on How to Legally Protect Your Family and Assets and Avoid Probate Court On Saturday, March 17, Iowa attorney David E. Sykes <http://davidsykeslaw.com/> will offer a free legal seminar, "How to Best Utilize Wills and Trusts" that presents how you can ensure the smooth transfer of your estate through proper legal estate planning and documentation. The hour-long seminar takes place upstairs at Revelations Café, 112 N. Main Street Fairfield at noon. Sykes, whose does a significant amount of legal estate planning for Iowa residents, says it’s a common misunderstanding that a validly executed Will allows your estate to easily transfer to your beneficiaries. With effective planning, a Will, along with a validly executed Trust, can completely bypass Probate Court and all its pitfalls. The legal cost of proper legal estate planning and documentation is typically much less expensive than probate costs. Sykes will discuss the various components of holistic legal estate planning, which typically includes a Will, Revocable Trust (which becomes Irrevocable upon one’s passing), Living Will, and Medical Power of Attorney along with the facts you need to know in order to make informed decisions. ----- Diane Rosenberg Fairfield, IA This is a personal email from me.
