Estate planning is a complex topic, especially when planning for the financial future of a loved one with a mental illness. Last April 17, 2024, we held our Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning Seminar, which is designed to provide invaluable assistance to families, particularly those managing estates that include care for a relative with a mental illness. Led by Solus Trust's Ben Buckingham, the session offered specialized advice on effective estate management. BCSS's Director of Development, Marsha MacMurchy, and guest speaker Grant Monck discussed how to include a charitable donation in your will. Topics covered were: ? Wills & estate planning ? Discretionary/non-discretionary trusts ? Selecting your executor/trustee ? Leaving a gift in your will This virtual event presented a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of estate planning, wills, and trusts, enabling you to make informed decisions for the financial well-being of your family members.
