Presented by Aaron J. Shutt, Attorney with Paup, Shutt & Associates
Are your “affairs in order?” What does that even mean?
If like most of us, you’re not exactly sure — and it seems so much like a moving target that you’ve shoved it off to that “someday” pile, we’d like to help you drag this uncomfortable chore back front and center so you can feel the relief of checking this important box once and for all.
We invite you to join us Thursday, November 14 from 10:00 am to noon for the informative and insightful workshop, Legal & Financial Planning led by attorney Aaron Shutt.
We’ll cover a variety of topics including wills, estate planning, and other areas of planning we need to consider— and how to organize this information to make it easy to find and keep updated.
While none of these topics are any fun to think or talk about, taking the time to address them in a thoughtful, thorough, and comprehensive way is a gift both to yourself and to your family in the years ahead.
