Montour County Administration Center (special in-person session!)
Join us for this special in-person "On the Bright Side" session, led by Marissa Marshall, certified elder law attorney. This informative and compassionate presentation—designed to help individuals and families navigate the essential aspects of end-of-life planning—will focus on the importance of legal documents, such as wills, powers of attorney, and advance directives that ensure your wishes are known when you may no longer be able to advocate for yourself. We'll explore:
- Advanced Health Care Planning: Learn how to document your medical preferences clearly and effectively.
- Legal Tools for Protection: Understand the role of key documents in safeguarding your decisions and assets.
- Communication Strategies: Discover how to engage in meaningful conversations with your chosen decision-makers so they fully understand your values, goals, and expectations.
Whether you're planning for yourself or supporting a loved one, this presentation will provide practical guidance and peace of mind. Attendees will leave with actionable steps and resources to begin or continue their planning journey. Register for this free session here!
