Sudden Death Seminar - Jul 2024 (in-person)
2024-07-11 13:30 - 15:30 (America/New_York)
This is a 3-part series at Lady Lake Public LibraryJuly 11, 18, 25 (Thursdays) from 1:30 – 3:30pm

Lady Lake Public Library225 W. Guava Street, Lady Lake, FL 32159

If you passed away tomorrow, will your loved ones know what to do? Will they know where your financial information and tax records, insurance records, and investment documents are stored? Will they be able to locate your most current will, health care directives, and documented funeral wishes? Can they locate important household documents, like deeds, car titles, and pension statements?

The list goes on and on, but the important point is that having this type of pertinent information organized and available in a structured place is something you can do in advance for those you leave behind. It’s a big task and it’s not an easy one…we know that. But with a structured approach, you can create a living document that will prove invaluable to your loved ones.

This seminar has been structured to guide you through the process of creating your “Survivor Notebook,” the repository that will help your loved ones cope after your passing. Conducted in three separate two-hour sessions, we’ll walk you through identifying what needs to be considered, assembling the material as we go in an accessible format, and we’ll be developing an approach to maintaining the material so that it’s always current. You’ll leave with a physical roadmap that will be of immeasurable value to your family.

There is no cost for this workshop series, but attendance is limited so you must register to attend. Light refreshments will be served at each session. Notebook materials will be provided.
