After the Funeral Downsizing With a Plan
No matter how prepared for death one is, there will always be
tasks left for survivors to do. Most of them can be undertaken in
an orderly fashion over time, but some typically need immediate
attention. Learn about what needs to be done, when, and by
whom. Pick up some tips that can help families avoid liquidity
problems, facilitate bill paying, and mitigate family dynamics or
issues. Taught by Susan Peterson, an experienced estates and
trusts attorney. Daytime class held at Esates of Arbor Oaks in
Andover. Class fee: $29. A smaller home can mean less maintenance, less hassle and
more freedom – all great reasons to downsize. But getting there
can seem overwhelming. Discuss housing options, reducing
personal items, decreasing collections, and find the best options
for you. Leave with a collection of resources and new ideas for
your future. Class held at Estates of Arbor Oaks in Andover.
Class fee: $25 one; $45 two.
