Central Branch

Friends of the Library Gather & Create Space

Even with careful estate planning disputes can arise: a will may be challenged, a Power of Attorney accused of misuse of funds, or children may disagree about parents’ long-term care. What can you do?

Local lawyer Paul Andrews will discuss issues in estate litigation that are becoming increasingly important with an aging population. Mr. Andrews will cover the procedural steps in disputing Powers of Attorney, applying for guardianship, or making will challenges, and he will review the grounds on which those strategies can be pursued. The talk will be of particular interest to everyone with an estate plan, children who are managing their parents’ affairs, families coping with dementia, and anyone who is expecting to one day be a beneficiary under a will.

This is the first of two identical presentations.  It will be repeated at the Sydenham branch at 2 PM on Saturday, October 26; see http://url.ie/14v27 for details and to register.  Both of these presentations require free registration.
