Family Estate Planning - 2025 Fall Series
The 2025 Fall Series will be each Wednesday from September 20 - October 29, from 10:30am - noon OR 1:30pm - 3:00pm at the Sierra View Library (Reno Town Mall).

About the Series: Putting important aspects of our lives in order helps provide a sense of peace and freedom. The Family Estate Planning Series is a seven-week “course” of 90-minute classes taught by area guest speakers. Each week offers a different attorney or other experts so you can learn about the fundamentals of estate planning; wills, probate, and trusts; health care directives; information stored digitally; and other essential topics. You’ll receive a full binder of reference and planning materials to guide you in achieving that peace of mind for yourself and your family.
This free, in-person series runs for seven consecutive Wednesdays in 90-minute sessions. Participants are asked to commit to the seven sessions, as each one complements the others. For questions, call the Community Foundation at 775-333-5499 or email programs@nevadafund.org.

More Information About the Series
Estate decisions require knowledge in many areas: accounting, finance, legal, insurance, taxes, investments, and charitable planning. Experts will help you navigate the topics of advanced health care directives; charitable income & tax planning; being a trustee and executor; and more. The workshops take place over seven consecutive weeks.
Classes are offered to you as a public service. No charity will solicit you for a donation. No financial or insurance products will be sold. Your name will not be given to the speakers. All speakers are volunteers and recognized local experts in their field.
