Most families focus on creating an estate plan—but what happens when it’s actually time to use it? When incapacity strikes, who steps in? What do they need to know? Make sure your estate plan works when it matters most. Join us to prepare your family for a smooth transition.
In this important workshop, we’ll discuss: ✅ Who determines incapacity and what legal steps follow ✅ The role and responsibilities of a successor trustee ✅ Common mistakes that create stress, delays, and legal issues
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT:
THE TRANSITIONAL EVENT SEQUENCE
Your estate plan is in place—but does the person named as your trustee and/or as your agent under your durable power of attorney truly understand their role if and when you should become incapacitated and unable to conduct your own legal or financial affairs? A well-structured plan only works if those tasked with carrying it out know what to do and when to act.
