Heath Wealth Management LLC To Host Estate Planning Workshops
Did you know 67 percent of Americans do not have an estate plan? According to 40 percent of survey respondents, the biggest reason why is ‘they just haven’t gotten around to it,’ while 33 percent indicated they don’t think they have enough assets.
Of those Americans who have an estate plan, many have plans that don’t work out exactly as intended for a variety of reasons, including wrong registration, wrong beneficiary, misunderstanding of legal terms, fraud, unplanned contingencies and more.
Elijah Heath, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU® and Heath Wealth Management LLC will be hosting workshops that will review traditional estate planning strategies along with smart, new techniques that traditional estate planning may not have addressed.
The workshops include dinner at Donovan’s Meatery, located at 11206 Sullivan St. in Riverview, on Monday, October 9 at 5:30 p.m. and downtown brunch at Heron’s rooftop, located at 815 Water St. in Tampa, at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 11. Seating is limited and interested parties must RSVP to Sandra Massengale at s.massengale@lpl.com or 813-556-7171.
