MSU Extension to offer two new online programs starting in January 2021

MontGuide Mondays discussions beginning January 4, 2021

MontGuide Mondays will run 10 to 11 a.m. Mondays in January and February via WebEx. Sessions will be hosted by Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension family economics specialist and several Extension agents. The sessions will run like a book club, where participants will read a MontGuide and take part in a virtual discussion. Participants can ask Goetting and the co-host county agents questions about the MontGuide or just listen and learn. Registration is required for MontGuide Mondays and can be done at montana.edu/familyeconomics/montguidemondays. For more information, email Goetting at [email protected].

The series will run from 10 to 10:45 a.m. each Tuesday in January and February, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session until 11:00. MSU Extension educators Marsha Goetting and Emily Standley will host the series.

Topics will include what individuals can and cannot do with a will; what to include in a letter of last instruction; how to avoid probate with a transfer-on-death deed; comparing life estates, joint tenancies and trusts as possible estate and legacy planning tools; exploring the benefits of financial and heath care powers of attorney; and how to acquire information about probate and duties of a personal representative.
