Description

Brought to you by Habitat for Humanity and Erin Sherman of Treehouse Legal Join us on January 16th for a crash course on estate planning. This program will be a great starting point for anyone who wants the protection of an estate plan but doesn’t know where to start. Attorney Erin Sherman from Treehouse Legal in Kennebunk will cover the basics of an estate plan, including describing what is typically included in a plan, how to provide for minor and adult children, and the differences between a Will and a Trust. You will leave the session having a better understanding of what documents will be right for you and your family, with resources on how to take the next step. There will be time reserved for general estate planning questions at the end. Erin Sherman lives with her family in Arundel, Maine and has been practicing law for seven years.
