Many of us have had these to-do's on our list for too long: get a valid Will in place, talk to an attorney about getting things in order in case something happens. Maybe you don't have the time, or maybe the cost is just too much right now. Attorney Amy Shelf has teamed up with the folks at Recess to bring new and expectant parents a way to get the basics out of the way and organize your future—all at a thrifty, group-discount rate. Here is how it works: you & your partner spend a morning at Recess and attend a Panic-Free Planning workshop (childcare available in the recess playspace). You'll leave with a valid Will, Financial Power of Attorney and an Advance Health Care Directive, all completed with the help and guidance of an experienced estate planning attorney.
