Talk Before the Time: Estate Planning for Families


Adult Classes and Activities / Manage Money -
Summer 2026

An estate plan is more than just a set of legal documents; it is a blueprint for your family’s future harmony. Too often, the technical side of planning overlooks the emotional reality of those left to carry it out.

Join Melissa Miroslavich (Attorney) & Molly Darsow (Still Waters Mediation) for an insightful conversation on how to bridge the gap between legal strategy and family relationships. We will move beyond the "what" of estate planning to focus on the "how"—specifically, how to communicate your intentions to prevent future discord.

In this session, we will explore:

  • Defining the Roles: Understanding the responsibilities of those tasked with implementing your plan.
  • Navigating Contentious Scenarios: Examining real-life case studies where planning hit roadblocks and how they could have been avoided.
  • The Art of the Conversation: Practical strategies for engaging your loved ones in meaningful dialogue today to minimize conflict tomorrow.
  • Preserving Your Legacy: Shifting the focus from simply transferring assets to intentionally preserving family bonds.

Don’t wait for a crisis to start the conversation. Learn how to provide your family with the clarity they need and the peace of mind you deserve.
