Estate planning is not only for the wealthy or elderly. This presentation is designed to help attendees
understand the practical, everyday reasons estate planning matters, especially for families with
children, loved ones they want to protect, or assets they want distributed according to their wishes.
The session will explain what happens when no plan is in place, how probate works, the difference
between a will and a trust, how guardians can be named for minor children, and how inheritance can
be structured more thoughtfully for the next generation. This overview follows the main educational
themes in the uploaded deck and keeps the tone approachable, empathetic, and grounded in general
guidance rather than individualized legal advice.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
• understand what estate planning is and why it matters
• identify common myths and misconceptions about estate planning
• explain the role of probate and why many families try to avoid it
• describe the difference between a will-based plan and a trust-based plan
• understand how guardianship planning works for minor children
• recognize options for protecting a child’s or heir’s inheritance over time

Reservations are requested and may be made by calling or emailing the library.
