Letter to the Editor

Why should you have a Will or Trust? Have you correctly identified your beneficiaries? Do you understand what probate is and how to avoid it? What is the difference between a Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney?

These are just a few of the topics that will be covered on Tuesday, September 27 from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at Memories Wedding and Banquet Hall in Plover. This free estate planning seminar is open to the public and sponsored by Planned Giving for Portage County and the law firm Anderson, O’Brien, Bertz, Skrenes & Golla. Refreshments and support material will be provided. The seminar will end with a question and answer session.

Planned Giving for Portage County is a voluntary alliance of independent, non-profit organizations and professional advisors that serve Central Wisconsin. Planned Giving for Portage County was formed to educate our community on the importance of proper estate planning and the value of charitable gifting as part of your estate plans. No estate is too small for a proper plan.

I encourage you to attend this free seminar. Planned giving is an excellent was to carry out your philanthropic goals, while also accomplishing personal and family objectives (including tax benefits). Proper panning can also give you peace of mind for your future and your family. For more information, or to register, please call 715-344-0890 or email: dmossak@andlaw.com by September 26.

I hope to see you there!
