“Not Your Mother’s Estate Plan”
“Not Your Mother’s Estate Plan”
Estate planning has changed—and so have the lives, families, and challenges people face today.
Women Of Melville Empowerment Network’s (W.O.M.E.N.) “Not Your Mother’s Estate Plan” breaks down why traditional, one-size-fits-all planning often falls short and what a modern estate plan should really include. In this program, Melissa will discuss how thoughtful, proactive planning can help individuals and families protect their wishes, maintain control, and avoid unnecessary stress down the road—especially during times of illness, incapacity, or transition.
