📋 Legal & Financial Must Haves
📅 Monday, June 8 • 1:30 PM

Do you have the important documents and information your family would need in an emergency or unexpected situation? This presentation will walk through key legal and financial items every adult should have organized, updated, and accessible — from powers of attorney and medical directives to account information, passwords, and end-of-life planning.

It’s not always an easy topic to think about, but being prepared can make a difficult situation much easier for the people around you.
