The Adair County Extension Office will host a three session Estate Planning Program this spring, giving local residents the opportunity to learn how to plan for the future, protect their assets, and support their loved ones through thoughtful preparation.
Sessions will begin March 23 and continue weekly through April 6. Each session will begin at 6 p.m.
Designed to address the most essential aspects of estate planning, the program brings together professionals from insurance, law, accounting, and end-of-life care. Each session focuses on a different topic area, allowing attendees to build a strong understanding of how wills, trusts, tax planning, and advanced directives work together in a well rounded estate plan.
The series will kick off on Monday, March 23 with Developing Your Estate Plan, led by Brent Hall of Southern Farm Bureau and Beth Owens Blankenship of Kentucky Farm Bureau.
During this session, presenters will outline the fundamentals of creating an estate plan, highlight common pitfalls to avoid, and explain how thoughtful preparation can provide financial security and lasting peace of mind.
On March 30, the focus turns to Wills, Trusts & Probate, presented by Jennifer Hutchison Corbin, Adair County Attorney.
She will guide participants through how these essential legal tools work and how they help ensure an individual’s wishes are honored.
The evening will also include a session on Tax Planning with Joe Montgomery of Montgomery & Company, P.L.L.C.. He will discuss the impact of taxes on estates and share strategies for minimizing potential financial burdens.
The program will conclude on April 6 with two important sessions presented by Hosparus Health Green River and the Hosparus Health Grief Counseling Center.
The first session, DNRs and Advanced Directives, will focus on healthcare decision-making, legal documentation, and how individuals can ensure their medical wishes are honored. The second session, Living with Grief, will offer guidance and supportive resources for families navigating loss.
All sessions are free and open to the public. To register, contact the Adair County Cooperative Extension office at 270-384-2317.
