Kimberly Rainen will act as Master of Ceremonies and preside over a 5 person panel made up of members of the Council who will speak on the following topics:

1) Estate planning documents;

2) Child custody after you are gone;

3) Planning for your elderly parents' care;

4) Protecting a child's inheritance in a divorce; and

5) What happens if there is no Will?

With today’s rising lifespans, we could be facing

roughly 20 or more years in retirement, which

is approximately 8,000 days. Once thought of

this way, it becomes clearer that retirement

is not an end, but rather a new, complex, and

unknown phase of life, during which so much

could happen.

-What does the last 8,000 days of your life look like?

-What's your plan? If you don't have one, that's ok that's why you will want to attend the event.

-Our goal is to discuss this topic and help you navigate the process.

Here's a quick summary of the event. We will have a panel style discussion where you will hear from local, subject matter experts discussing the many aspects of aging gracefully.

We will feature a Keynote speaker, Curtis Ranta from the Hartford Funds, who will present information from the MIT Age Lab and Dr. Joe Coughlin on navigating the last "8000 Days" of life.

 You will be able to ask questions of those panelists and learn more from open discussion.
