Morgan, J.D., LL.M of Wilchins Cosentino & Novins LLP. You'll learn how to protect your family with an estate plan, the myths about having an estate plan and how you can benefit today. <br><br>It is estimated 70% of Americans do not have a will or other estate plans. Estate planning does not have to be complicated. Christine will give an overview on how having an estate plan helps to carry out your specific wishes, helps your family if there is a health crisis, and helps to make things much easier for all of those involved in handling your post-death matters. Wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies, and living wills will be covered. This presentation will also touch on charitable giving, including lifetime gifts and gifts through a will, trust, or beneficiary designation. There will also be time for general questions and answers. Additionally, you will learn about NBP’s Braille for Life Alliance and its impact on the future of braille.<br><br><a href="https://nbp.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0150d8e3e15bab5b5433561b9&id=2e4797042b&e=b6ee54e3ad" target="_blank"><span style='color:#336699'>Register for the Estate Planning Workshop here</span></a>, or call Nicole Kosar at 617-425-2410.</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#505050'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>*****<br>To order any books, send payment to:<br>NBP, 88 St. Stephen Street, Boston, MA 02115-4302<br>Or call and charge it: toll-free (800) 548-7323 or (617) 266-6160 ext 520.<br>Or order any of our books online at</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#505050'><br><a href="https://nbp.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0150d8e3e15bab5b5433561b9&id=5a01f5d5ba&e=b6ee54e3ad" target="_blank"><span style='color:black'>http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/publications/index.html. </span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></div></td></tr><tr><td valign=top style='border:none;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=600 style='width:6.25in;background:white' id=templateFooter><tr><td valign=top style='padding:7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td colspan=2 style='border:solid whitesmoke 1.0pt;background:#FAFAFA;padding:7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt' id=social><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;line-height:125%'><u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#707070'><a href="http://us4.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=0150d8e3e15bab5b5433561b9&id=7e97d42d63&e=b6ee54e3ad">Forward to a friend</a></span></u><u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue'> </span></u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#707070'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td width=370 valign=top style='width:277.5pt;padding:7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:125%'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
