Attorney Evan Guthrie spoke on the topic of financial and legal and in particular the need to do proper estate planning to be able to remain in one’s house and successfully age in place. Mr. Guthrie talked about the need to have a durable power of attorney in place to avoid a situation in which the probate court with an appointment of a guardian and conservator may have to step in mange ones well being and finances and disrupt the ability to remain in one’s residence. Attorney Guthrie also explained the importance of having advance directives in place including a health care power of attorney and a declaration of a desire of natural death also known as a living will to put in writing what kind of health care decisions and end of life choices one wants to not only age in place, but to make it easier on family members or other loved ones left behind in a potentially difficult time.

The Merry Widows were a lively and interactive group that asked many questions and told their stories of how they planned to age in place. Mr. Guthrie  enjoyed the chance to be able to speak to and educate the group on many important issues. Attorney Guthrie looks forward to being able to return again and speak to many more groups in the future
