what you'll learn in this webinar
Mistake #1: Rolling the dice by having no estate plan in place
Don't leave things up to chance. Having no estate plan in place means that your wishes might not be followed after you're gone. Having even a basic estate plan in place can prevent family in-fighting and help provide for the ones that you love.
mistake #2: burning money with expensive probate proceedings
Don't burn your money away. Not having the right estate plan in place can cost your family dearly by requiring expensive probate proceedings. That is your hard-earned money being paid to legal professionals instead of going to your loved ones.
mistake #3: NOT PROTECTING your home from NURSING HOME bills
Don't lose your home to the nursing home. If you eventually intend to obtain MassHealth/Medicaid and own a home, you're potentially placing that home at risk by not having the right estate plan in place in the event you become institutionalized.
