Planned Giving Presentation (Virtual)

Date/Time: Wednesday, October 18th from Noon - 1:00 p.m.

Are you thinking about making a legacy gift, but don't know where to start? Join us for this FREE webinar (via Zoom) to learn more about estate planning. Certainly, estate planning is not a "one size fits all" endeavor – the components and content of your estate plan should be tailored to your unique situation and priorities. In general, however, a good estate plan should address two broad areas – planning for your lifetime and planning for after your death.

We will offer a presentation followed by a Q & A session with Jennifer Imediegwu. Jennifer is an Attorney at Moertl, Wilkins & Campbell, S.C. and concentrates her practice in the areas of lifetime and estate planning, which includes wills, trusts, special needs trusts, powers of attorney, probate, and trust administration. Jennifer also assists clients with elder law issues including Title19 / Medicaid planning.

All attendees will be in "listen-only" mode, but can type their question to be answered live. This is free, but you must register in advance to receive the link. The link will be available in February.
