Estate planning offers a chance to ensure family, friends and beneficiaries receive what their loved ones want them to have, and that’s something the University of Missouri Extension of Butler County would like to help with that.
They’re hosting an informational course in estate planning from 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13.
Extension human development extension field specialist John Fuller explains, “In this course, participants will see two examples of families who have done no estate planning.
“As life circumstances occur, participants will see the unintended consequences of having done no estate planning.”
Then the course shows how to prevent that.
“We’ll examine the tools available in an estate plan, and then apply those tools to our two families to see how it might have changed their outcome,” he said.
The purpose of the course is to demonstrate the importance of estate planning in general, but also to give participants more knowledge about estate planning tools and how they might apply so that they are better prepared when they meet with their own estate planning attorneys, Fuller said.
This course will be taught by a licensed attorney.
