Lakes Free is excited to bring this popular workshop to our church!

The documents, the dynamics, the decisions—it's time to get them right. Without a complete and carefully crafted estate plan, your loved ones could be left facing confusion, delays, legal fees—and even court battles. In this engaging 90-minute workshop, you'll learn how to take control now to ensure no one inherits a mess later.

Topics include: 

• Understanding the crucial differences between Wills and Trusts
• Why every adult—yes, even your college student—needs a Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive
• How to sidestep Probate and keep your estate matters private
• Legacy gifting and other tax strategies
• The role of beneficiary designations, TODs, and PODs in transferring assets quickly and efficiently
• Addressing family dynamics and avoiding common communication breakdowns

Led by Attorney Andrew Dibble and Chris Anderson, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Generations Law Firm, this session provides practical insight into what it really means to plan ahead—not just legally, but thoughtfully. A live Q&A will follow the presentation to help you get answers tailored to your personal situation.

Mindful Estate Planning is a gift of love and order for your family and those you care about.

Don’t leave your family a legal puzzle to solve—learn how to plan wisely today so your legacy is protected tomorrow.

WILLs tend to be over sold, incorrectly utilized, and utterly misunderstood. If you have a traditional simple WILL in place you have a good start, but you are likely not done with your estate planning. There are important things you need to do (in addition to simply having a WILL) to avoid Probate and make sure assets are passed to the correct individuals or organizations according to your wishes. For the sake of your heirs, it’s finally time to learn what a WILL does, and what a WILL doesn't do. 

Perfect for anyone who wants straightforward answers and honest insight—without the legal jargon or intimidation. Presented by Jeff Litfin, Certified Estate Planner with Generations LAW FIRM.

Shielding Your Legacy: Planning Ahead for Long-Term Care Costs

In this 90-minute educational workshop, you’ll learn how Federal and Minnesota laws provide options to safeguard your savings and assets from spend-down and estate recovery requirements—but only for those who plan ahead. You’ll also gain a clearer understanding of how Wills and Trusts factor into long-term care planning, and explore advanced asset protection tools designed to ensure your legacy stays intact for your loved ones.

Whether you're planning for your own future or helping aging parents prepare, this session will equip you with knowledge that can make a significant difference. Led by Jeff Litfin, Certified Estate Planner with Generations Legal Services, this class includes a live Q&A session to address your personal concerns.

The emotional consequences and negative ripple effects of failing to keep your documents in order can cause frustration, delays and a financial burden on your loved ones and heirs. You may have a simple WILL in place, but that only scratches the surface of what is needed in case you pass away or become incapacitated. What have you done about your financial accounts? Insurance policies? Medical wishes? What if you’re divorced? Own a business? Have a blended family? What about property you may own or pets you care deeply about?

Who will know what to do if you aren’t around to tell them? Should you consider a Trust? In this educational workshop, you will learn the 25 documents most experts recommend you collect and maintain so family members aren’t left scrambling to find important papers and information in a time of loss and confusion.

Whether you’re single, married, divorced, own a business, or have a blended family, this session will help you understand what’s needed to make sure your affairs are truly in order. Topics include legal documents, healthcare planning, financial and property records, and guidance for personal wishes.

Led by Jeff Litfin, Certified Estate Planner with Generations Legal Services, this class will help you gain clarity and confidence in preparing for the unexpected—so your loved ones aren’t left searching for answers during a difficult time.
