Rockhurst University invites you to this exciting, FREE dinner and workshop: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Wills, Trusts, and Avoiding Probate But Didn't Know Who to Ask... presented by Chris Gaughan (Class of 2001), estate planning attorney.

At the workshop, we will discuss several topics, including:

• What are the 7 costly mistakes families make in their estate plans?
• PROBATE - What is it, and why does everyone want to AVOID it?
• How do you protect your spouse's and children’s inheritance?
• How can you avoid unfortunate financial problems for your family after you pass?
• How will the pending tax law changes on January 1, 2026, affect my estate plan?

Join us on Wednesday, April 16, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to learn the answers to these questions. The workshop will include a BBQ buffet dinner. Seats are limited, so RSVP now! For more information, contact Chris McCoy at chris.mccoy@rockhurst.edu or by calling 816-501-4199.
