Join us for a conversation with Marc G. Séguin, author of Advocacy in Aging, a book about estate and healthcare planning for the living years. Learn how to build a team to help you navigate unplanned life transitions.
Adult children, parents, and friends support each other through life transitions, positive and difficult, planned or unplanned. Parents wish to support their children through the good as well as challenging times. Children want to be ready to support their parents through natural aging, life events, or illness.
By planning for the unplanned and building a team of advocates, it is possible to ensure continuity and consistency in financial affairs and personal care.
Marc will present and explain the PACT (Plan-Activate-Communicate-Transition) planning framework. You'll learn how it will allow you to live with peace of mind, knowing your affairs are well organized, communicated and ready for transition to trusted advocates.
Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Advocacy in Aging.
Light refreshments will be served.
This event is sponsored by Catherine Lach, Senior Investment Advisor and Portfolio Manager, BMO Nesbitt Burns.
