Estate Planning for Women
On Nov. 5, we’re partnering with Rocky Mountain PBS to present this free seminar on the unique challenges and opportunities women face when planning their estate. Regardless of age or marital status, women, on average, live longer, earn less over their lifetimes and carry more of the family care-taking responsibilities than men. Whether your estate plans include a partner or not, this seminar speaks directly to the sensitive issues women face and the tools available to protect dignity and legacy. Our speakers are Mary Rolsch and Jeff Kadavy, trust officers with MidFirst Bank (formerly Steele Street Bank & Trust).
