UW offers estate planning program Feb. 13 in Cody

Estate planning can never start too early.

To help begin the process, an informative program is being offered by the University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service (UW CES) Wednesday, Feb. 13, in Cody.

 "Passing It On: Beginning Estate Planning in Wyoming " is 10 a.m. to noon in the Barling Room of the Park County Courthouse.

The workshop focus is helping people get started with the estate transfer process and develop and implement a plan with appropriate tools.

The program is open to the public.

“This program introduces people to the process of transferring an estate,” said Cole Ehmke, a personal financial management specialist with the UW CES. “Many Wyoming residents haven’t started a conversation with family members about their estate and don’t have even a basic will.”

Passing it On, a book and worksheets to help in the estate planning process, is available at the meeting for $10.

“This information is important when meeting with other estate-planning professionals such as attorneys, tax advisers and financial planners," Ehmke said.

For more information, contact UW CES Educator Sandy Frost in Park County at (307) 754-8836 or sfrost1@uywo.edu.
