ESSENTIAL ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
May 20, 2013
Columbia, Maryland
Although a determination of which estate planning documents are appropriate for any individual depends upon that individual’s circumstances, there are certain documents which are essential to any estate plan. At this seminar, Ms. Rocco will discuss those documents, including financial Powers Of Attorney, Advance (medical) Directives, Last Will and Testaments, and if appropriate, revocable living trusts.
Please note that this seminar is not open to the public. If your organization would like Ms. Rocco to present a seminar on the estate planning process and documents, probate administration, or elder law, please contact her office at 410-997-4228.
