No one gets out of this life alive. But many of us fail to plan for the inevitable. To help us think through some of these difficult decisions, Susan Hoskins, a member of Newtown Friends Meeting, is offering a workshop about the steps necessary to not leave a mess for your loved ones when you go.
This workshop is for anyone who is concerned about a parent/friend/family member who has not done advance planning, or maybe even for YOU! You never know when it will be needed, but she guarantees it will be a mess if you don’t do it.
Susan will cover issues in planning ahead for end of life including:
Advance directives for health and finances
Designating beneficiaries
Wills & Executor
Important documents- lists of accounts, passwords, etc.
HIPPA release
Having the conversation with family
Decluttering
Other aspects of planning
