It's Wills Week 2010

It's time for Edmonton Community Foundation's annual WillPower Wills Week, with 12 FREE 2-hour sessions offered to the public. Each session is conducted by an estate lawyer who volunteers his/her time to present information about Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Personal Directives and more. All sessions take place between Friday October 1 and Thursday October 7, 2010, at venues around Edmonton.

From their newsletter: "This year there is a special session being held for those who would like information on how to ensure their will provides for family members who may require special care." That session, called the PLAN Edmonton session because it was suggested by the organization of that name, is taking place on Wednesday, October 6, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at the Prince of Wales Armories.

This is an excellent opportunity to get some local, expert information about estate planning. You'll get a chance to pick up written information and ask questions. I've been participating in this event for years and have seen it grow bigger every year as more and more people realize what a valuable resource it is.

This year I'll once again be at the Edmonton Public Library at Whitemud Crossing, 4211 - 106 Street. Look for the program room, which used to be a movie theatre and has really comfy seats, or so I'm told. I'll be there on Thursday, October 7 from 6:30 to 8:30. Come early, as this is a popular venue.
