8 Retirement Seminar Income/Wills & Trusts/Hospice/Funerals The Swansboro United Methodist Men welcome you to a seminar we hope will answer questions you may have regarding your retirement years. Some of you may have been retired for a number of years and some of you are looking forward to that time. This seminar is for all of you. Location: Assembly Hall, Bldg 3 Time: 6:30 8:00 p.m. (Doors open at 6:00 p.m.) Reservations: Online or call church office by noon Mon, 10/22 Desserts/snacks available Please reserve your spot either online (under LOOK HERE at swansboroumc.org) or by calling the church office ( ) so that we will know how many handouts and desserts to have. Do you have a current Will and/or Trust? Do you have questions about it or how to have a will/trust accomplish your wishes for special distribution of your estate? When it comes to a group of very special people who have devoted themselves to Hospice, questions arise: What is Hospice? What can they do for me or my family? When do I contact them? How much will Hospice cost me? We usually think of Funeral Homes as we approach our later years of life, but there are many good reasons to address funeral issues ahead of time: Do you want a Military funeral? Is your funeral going to be a local funeral or in another county or state? Do you want to be cremated? Do you want an elaborate burial or are you interested in other options? One of the largest concerns facing us as we enter into this new world of retirement is our income stream. Are there ways we can live in relative comfort and still help our children? Is there a way we can still provide for our special needs family member after we are gone? Did you think you had what you needed in place but now wonder if there are other income options open? Come hear from our panel of experts on all of these topics!
