Delaware Money School to host Avoiding Probate in Georgetown Aug. 1

July 28, 2016

A free class, Avoiding Probate, is being offered to the public, Monday, August 1, from 6 to 7 p.m., at the Georgetown Public Library, 123 West Pine St.

The class covers avoiding probate, how to make the transition of property occur seamlessly at the time of death, without opening an estate. The sponsor, Delaware Money School, is delighted to be able to provide free of charge, an experienced and well qualified instructor, Deirdre O'Shea McCartney Esq. to the public. Having written, spoken and taught on the subject many times, she breaks down what appears to be 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. For those who have served as a personal representative or executor of an estate, they know first hand 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.
The Money School is the signature program of the nonprofit Delaware Financial Literacy Institute.

They offer more than 600 free, no-hassle personal finance classes a year, throughout the state, taught by volunteers from the nonprofit and corporate sectors. From Purses to Portfolios: Delaware Women Take Charge of Their Money, targets women's unique financial needs, and seeks to empower them. Participants can enroll in this program, earning a certificate that demonstrates a commitment to financial education.
Registration to attend the class is done at www.dfli.org. For more information on this class contact Karly Rankin, Karly@sussexattorney.com, or call 302-855-0551.
