Avoiding Probate estate planning workshop to be offered June 5

A free class will be offered to the public from 5 to 6 p.m., Tuesday, June 5, at Georgetown Public Library. The class covers avoiding probate, how to make the transition of property occur seamlessly at the time of death, without opening an estate.

Sponsor Delaware Money School provides, free of charge, Deirdre O’Shea McCartney Esq., an experienced and well-qualified instructor. Having written, spoken and taught on the subject many times, she breaks down a complex subject to simple, understandable layman’s terms.

This class focuses only on steps the lay person can take so assets transfer at death to the intended beneficiaries by operation of law, immediately and automatically. Those who have served as a personal representative or executor of an estate know firsthand how complex, expensive and time-consuming the probate process can be. Everyone should have a will prepared with a competent attorney. This class teaches how to prepare an estate in such a manner that the entire probate process can be avoided and the will never comes into play.
