The Greater Grand Island Community Foundation will host an estate and succession planning seminar for the general public from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. March 21, at their location at 1503 W. 2nd St. Allan Vyhnalek, a Nebraska Extension educator for succession and transition, will present.

The seminar will offer tools and strategies to effectively plan, start and complete estate plans, offer background on common mistakes during the process, and highlight essential considerations for creating and carrying out estate and succession plans.

“The common mistake is that most know that they need an estate plan, but never get around to putting a plan into a legal document,” Vyhnalek said. “Over several years, at the end of the seminar, the most common comment is that the participants wished that they had started learning the steps to start and complete a plan sooner.”

The seminar is free to attend, but registration is requested by calling the Greater Grand Island Community Foundation at 308-381-7767 or visiting https://gicf.org/about/events.
