Washtenaw County is offering free legacy planning programs for local residents.
The service is being offered through the county’s Financial Empowerment Center. The one-on-one counseling will help people of all ages take the necessary steps to protect their assets.
Economic Opportunity Division Administrator Cheranissa Williams says it’s important for everyone to make preparations, including writing a will.
Research shows the majority of Americans own at least one asset, like a bank account, a 401k or a home. Their liquidation or distribution could be tied up in court for a long time without a will or estate plan.
