When your divorce is final and the assets are divided, you may not think about how to protect what you have. It is vital that you think about what you need to do to protect yourself and your estate in the future, no matter the size of your estate. Listen as Nancy Cogar, an attorney who focuses her practice on the vital areas of Elder Law, Estate and Long Term Care Planning, Trusts, and Probate discusses:

• How taking a proactive and well-considered approach now can save you from making hasty decisions later that can cost you dearly in the long term.

• How trusts work, what assets should or should not be put into a trust, and how a trust can protect your estate.

• Transfers of assets to adult children while still living.

• The difference between healthcare power of attorney and power of attorney.
