Challenges for Solo Agers and How to Resolve Them

This webinar covers the Estate Planning challenges of the solo ager, which are in important ways different from those facing people with spouses, children, or other close family members. What kinds of decisions and actions will need to be taken, and who will deal with them if the solo ager is unable to do so himself or herself? In this session, we consider what might be done by the solo ager in advance to protect against the consequences of physical or mental incapacity.

This is the third in our Estate Planning for Life Situations Webinar Series
