Taking Care of Business (Your Assets) Before Leaving

Stefanie West, Elder Law Attorney and
Lafayette Senior Services Commissioner

Are your kids (siblings, distant cousins) already squabbling
about grandpa's rare coin collection or the Microsoft shares
purchased in 1980? Is your family the new "Modern Family"
comprised of several sets of half brother/half sister, blended
family relationships that give lawyers migraines? How do
you weigh sentimental value against dollar value? Take
charge now. Let elder law attorney Stefanie West show you
how to avoid common mistakes, effectively ward off potential
conflicts, and create serene clarity around the distribution
and disposal of your assets, financial and otherwise,
before you leave.
