Securing Financial Stability in McCracken County

McCracken County Family and Consumer Science and Agriculture Agents collaborated to present a comprehensive Estate Planning Seminar using U.K. Extension material to residents of McCracken and surrounding counties. Six local professionals, including attorneys, accountants, bank trust officers, and a licensed funeral home director, addressed estate and retirement planning, financial considerations, and long-term medical care and Medicaid planning as it relates to the overall estate plan. Most of the 78 participants were convinced at the start of the seminar that they had made sufficient planning efforts. At the conclusion, 90% reported that they had gained information that motivated them to make changes; 60% intended to make changes immediately. Five families reported making changes the same week.
