Wills & Estate Planning for Everyone

Where there's a will - there's a family provided for by a thoughtful loved one.
Learn about changes in the law that have had an impact on estate planning,
including living wills and advance directives. Topics of discussion include wills
and trusts, gift and tax planning, Probate options in Tennessee, power of attorney,
the importance of living wills, and Tennessee inheritance tax. This session will
also address the planning necessary to assure that in case of legal incapacity,
your wishes regarding financial and health care decisions will be followed.

Learn about government programs that may help pay for long term care, and
what you can and cannot keep in order to qualify for these benefits. Learn the
do's and don'ts of property transfers and adding names to bank accounts. Hear
about using the assets you have to generate extra funds, when the law considers
you to be mentally incapacitated, and possible legal issues that arise at the end
of life.

The program is completely free and the courses will be taught by practicing attorneys who are volunteers with the Knoxville Bar Association.
