Estate planning workshop is Feb. 5 in Burlington

    Colorado Agri-Women and the Colorado Conservation Tillage Association will host a Lasting Legacy Estate Planning Workshop on Monday, Feb. 5, at the Burlington Community and Education Center in Burlington. The workshop will start at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4:30 p.m. with 90 minutes allowed for participants to eat lunch in Burlington.
    Initiating discussions on succession and estate planning can be uncomfortable. Parents do not want to upset children, and children don’t want to be seen as greedy. Fear of upsetting family with estate decisions or an attitude of, “I won’t have to worry about it when I’m gone,” can lead to devastation for family members who are left. Conversely, parents and grandparents are often more than willing to share stories of their life, family accomplishments and personal success.
    Beyond just real estate property and personal possessions, this hands-on workshop is the first step in creating a succession and estate document. All four pillars of a person’s legacy will be covered: values and life lessons, personal possessions of emotional value, instructions and wishes to be fulfilled, and financial assets/real estate.
