How to Get Your Affairs in Order: A four-class series
Do you:
- think that you have to wait until you are on your deathbed to get your affairs in order?
- just assume “someone else will handle it?”
- plan to get your affairs in order—someday?
- ignore the topic because you don't want to think about your mortality?
- know you need to do it, but you don't have the foggiest idea what to do or how?
We can help you! This light and humorous interactive workshop will teach you how to get your affairs in order in five main areas:
- recording personal and financial information
- health care and legal documents
- dealing with your postmortem care
- digitally recording your stories or family history for the benefit of future generations
- Once you know what to do and how to do it, you can begin the process of getting your
documentation together and writing down your wishes. Your loved ones will thank you for it!
