It was a great opportunity Monday night to speak at the Law in the Library session on Elder Law: Protecting Yourself and Your Assets, and now I get to do it again.
I have been asked to do another presentation this coming Monday, May 19 at 11 a.m. at the Millhopper Library Branch. This time the subject is Estate Planning Basics. My presentation will likely include address titling assets, protections given to homestead property, elective share for a disinherited spouse, wills versus trusts, consequences of not having a will, and probate.
While I am replacing one of my colleagues this coming Monday, it’s no coincidence that I should be talking about both these subjects. So much of the time, complications occur related to legal issues regarding older members of the family because the necessary estate planning was not done earlier.
This event, free and open to anyone, will take place at the Millhopper Library Branch, 3145 NW 43rd St. If you or family members are dealing with some of these issues, please join us. The talk is presented by the Alachua County Library District and the Eighth Judicial Circuit Bar Association.
