Free seminar to be presented by Oakland Probate Court in Troy

On Thursday, April 28, the Citizens Alliance for the Oakland County Probate and Circuit Courts will conduct a free seminar titled “Removing the Mysteries of Probate Court” in conjunction with the City of Troy at the Troy Community Center, from 1 to 3 p.m. 

This program is designed to enlighten and educate senior citizens and their families so that they may make informed decisions regarding their estate planning and understand the probate process. The Troy Civic Center is located at 3179 Livernois, Room 305, in Troy.      

The seminar will include topics such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, and will provide useful information on how to begin probate proceedings, when to consider use of guardianships and conservatorships, and how “avoiding probate” could cause more harm than good.

Panelists will include Jill Koney Daly, probate register for the Oakland County Probate Court, and attorney Paula Talarico from Talarico & Associates in Troy.  Materials will be available and adequate time will be available for questions.

To register for this free seminar, contact the City of Troy at 248-524-3484.
