The action step will be to write grants to serve the community in ways that will help individuals thrive in living toward 100.
PRESERVING YOUR ASSETS AFTER RETIREMENT AND BEYOND
1 session with Josh Sroka on March 28, 1:30pm-3:00pm
Arm yourself with knowledge and confidence about planning your own future so that you will be able to grow old with dignity and have the care you need as you age. There might come a day when you will need to consider moving to assisted living, or, if you become ill or infirm, a nursing home. But it is important to have done the homework ahead of time. By creating an estate plan, you will be able to make such a move without legal worries. In this presentation, you will find out the answers to such questions as these:
- What happens if I am in a nursing home, and I run out of money?
· If I go to a nursing home, can I still leave money to my children?
· When should I update my old will?
· How do I choose who makes decisions for me if I am unable to do so in the future?
· Can a nursing home or the state take my home if I go to a nursing home?
· Should I put my children(s) name(s) on my deed to my house?
· Should I put my children(s) name(s) on my bank accounts?
· Will a nursing home take all my money?
