We are all worried about our families during these difficult and uncertain pandemic times. Making an estate plan is one step that can be taken to reduce the anxiety and fears connected with COVID-19 and to ensure that a plan is in place should an unfortunate event occur. Employing a trust to create that plan is simple and effective.
Join Ellen Makofsky for a webinar with the Freeport Public Library on Wednesday, May 6th at 12:00pm to learn what trusts are, how trusts work and why they can be advantageous as the Coronavirus sweeps through our communities.
