Wills & Healthcare Proxies Educational Seminar
TROY – Join us at the Troy Public Library on January 11th, at 6:00pm for this free seminar. Do you know that a WILL and a HEALTHCARE PROXY are two of the most important legal documents you could have? What does each document do for you? Well, it’s SIMPLE. THEY PROTECT YOU! A will can help keep your hard-earned assets, like your home, so that it would be left to your family members of your choice. A health care proxy allows you to appoint someone else to act as your agent for medical decisions. It ensures that your medical treatment instructions are carried out. Not having a will and healthcare proxy can be added financial and emotional burdens to your family during a difficult time. A LEGAL SERVICE PLAN can provide you the Will and Healthcare Proxy that YOU need! Prepare for your legal needs today!
Attend this FREE EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP the importance of Wills & Healthcare Proxies. It’s our pleasure to explain the importance of Wills & Healthcare Proxies. Have the proper protection in place so your family doesn’t have to pay in the end.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended. For more information and to register, call the library at 274-7071 or online at www.thetroylibrary.org. The Troy Public Library is located at 100 Second Street, Troy, NY.
