Thursday, June 20, 2013 – Planning for Your Children – College and Beyond

Presenters: Dr. Dean Skarlis and Lou Pierro

Most parents share the concern that their children be raised with solid core values, and receive the best education possible. Saving for college, using 529 plans, qualifying for financial aid and loans and gifting to children and grandchildren are often the focus of education planning, and rightly so.  But what if the unexpected happens?  Do you have a plan that will appoint Guardians of minor children who will carry out your vision and values?  Will your son or daughter be prepared for college?  Will they find the school that is the best fit for them, and will there be enough money to ensure they attend their school of choice? What about after college – does your estate plan protect family assets from your children’s creditors, bankruptcy and divorcing spouses?  This session will be hosted by the Pierro Law Group, LLC.  Participants will learn concrete steps that lead to a secure future for your children, and peace of mind for parents.
