Your Will Questions Answered

Presented by Beverley Chapman - Assistant Vice President, Trust Administration


Set aside the anxiousness, discomfort and maybe even a bit of the queasy and panic. We all think about life after us.

Those thoughts bring a slight panicked feeling when you think about what happens if something happens to you or your spouse. What would happen to the kids? How would anyone know what to do? To protect your family, lets talk about a Will, its importance and the calm it can bring.

  • What is a Will
  • What's the Difference Between a Living Trust and a Will?
  • Why Do I Need a Will?
  • How is a Will Executed?
  • What Happens to My Things if I Don't have a Will?
