Wills, Healthcare Directives, and Powers of Attorney

In-Person

A will is an important document for everyone to have. This presentation will discuss essential information to gather and questions to consider before having a will made. Learn what your will should include, the formal requirements for making a will, whom you should name as your executor, and what happens if you die and you do not have a will.

In addition to a will, everyone should have a Healthcare Directive and a Power of Attorney. Learn what these documents are, whom you should appoint, when does a power of attorney take effect, and what happens if you don't have a power of attorney and are no longer competent to look after your financial affairs.

Presented by Kendra d'Eon, founding lawyer of KLD Law.

Offered in partnership with Community Legal Education Association.
