Discover how your estate planning documents can support you as you age.

Our Planning to Age workshop focuses on what really happens as health changes over time—how dementia or long-term illness can affect decision-making, independence, and finances, and what families can do before a crisis.

We’ll talk through care options, decision‑makers, caregiver roles, and practical steps to avoid rushed, reactive choices later.

If you (or your parents) want to plan ahead for aging and long‑term care, this workshop is for you.

This workshop takes place Tuesday, June 2 at 4:00 pm at: Edwards Group LLC, 3223 S Meadowbrook Rd, Suite A in Springfield.

Call 217-885-2506 if you have any questions or would like to sign up! Space is limited, so please RSVP.
