The Key Elements to a Basic Estate Plan In this one-hour class we will discuss the basic elements of an estate plan by defining wills, powers of attorney, powers of attorney for health care and non-probate transfers. Questions are encouraged as we take a light look at many planning options for a basic estate.
Making Your End-Of-Life Decisions Clear In this one-hour class we begin with a discussion on living wills and other forms of health care or end-of-life directives. For those who want, at the end of the class there is an opportunity, at no cost, to complete a Health Care Directive that accomplishes four things: Ensures that the person you want to speak for you has the legal authority to do so; Helps ensure that your wishes about your health care are known and respected; Avoids unnecessary, intrusive, and costly medical treatment at the point you no longer want it; and I believe most importantly, reduces the suffering experienced by your loved ones, because they will have your guidance.
Happy 18th (& 17th) Birthday and Welcome to Adulthood In this one-hour class we will discuss the changes that may seem alarming to a young person on their 18th birthday, let alone his or her parent. This program attempts to alleviate some of the concerns of both children and parents by giving direction and a place to start in understanding the law as it applies to adults. The booklet "Stepping Out, is given to attendees, which is prepared by the Young Lawyers' Section of the Missouri Bar. This class covers such topics as voting, jury duty, driving, drinking and drug laws, criminal charges, employments, apartment leases, marriage, parental rights, child support, contracts, credit, consumer protection, and military service. Questions are encouraged as we take a first time look for many at the legal ins and outs of being an adult.
