Learn easy ways to protect your hard-earned assets and the people you love should you ever get sick, become disabled, or need long-term assisted living, in-home, or nursing home care NOW or in the future. Estate planning and elder law attorney Steve Worrall will teach you strategies and tools that will allow you to protect and preserve your savings, estate and your legacy. There is no need to lose all your assets to a nursing home if you, your spouse, or parent is in need of long-term care.

Have you heard these common misconceptions about Medicaid?

• They can take your home
• You have to give your assets away to protect them
• If you give assets away you have to wait 60 months to qualify

Our workshop will address those and many other issues related to elder law and estate planning. Learn how to protect what is important to you:

• Can I protect my “STUFF” from a long-term care facility? How?
• What is a trust? What’s the difference between revocable and irrevocable?
• How can I avoid probate? Do I need to?
• Should I give my “STUFF” to the children?
• If I give my “STUFF” away, will it take 60 months for it to be safe?
• What is a Power of Attorney, a Living Will, and a Healthcare Directive? What are the differences? Which do I need?
• How can I plan for disabled beneficiaries?
• Are my IRAs safe? Do I need special planning for them?

You will learn a lot, time will go by quickly and you will be educated in a light-hearted manner.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Will I be asked to sign up for legal services?

No, this workshop is strictly educational. You will learn easy-to-understand and straightforward strategies to protect your family’s wealth and the people you love most. If during the presentation you determine your current plan is out of date, or you are not properly protected if the unthinkable happens, we will offer you the opportunity to come in for a Georgia Family Treasures Planning Session ($600 value) with Steve Worrall at no-charge. There is no obligation to attend this session and nothing will be sold at the event.

2. Can I bring a friend?

Yes! The event is open to the public and we encourage you to bring family members or friends—especially those you may be responsible to look after in an emergency (aging parents, close relatives, etc.). However, please be sure to let us know how many people you intend to bring when registering, as space is limited. Reservations are required AND WE ASK THAT YOU ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE START TIME.

3. Should I bring anything to the event?

You do not need to bring anything with you. We will provide you with information which you can take home and study further at your convenience.
