WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT "WILL AWARENESS" IN 2023

If you're among the people who are on the fence about a will, the best way to make smart decisions for your situation is to be armed with the facts.

If you've got a family, a home and any kind of financial account, you should definitely have a will in place. When done properly, a will can help individuals resolve everything from designating a guardian for children, to passing on a family-owned small business, and mitigating any intra-family conflicts.

We know family changes like marriage, divorce, births and deaths are all but guaranteed. These life events can render a will obsolete and unaligned to your wishes, can prove problematic if not updated.

Join us for this complimentary Will Awareness seminar at St. Charles City-County Library, Middendorf-Kredell Branch that will provide you with valuable information necessary to avoid the most common and costly mistakes found in "Will Awareness" today.
