Basics of Estate Planning

Thursday, April 27 | 12:00 PM  MT 

Most people think estate planning is just for the elderly, but it is important to everyone else, too - especially for those with minor children, substantial assets or unusual circumstances.

Properly done, estate planning can remove many burdens from surviving family members during a stressful time.
