Ever wondered what probate is? Or what a will is? What does a trust actually do?

Join attorney Jennifer Gumbel to find out answers to these common questions at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at an Estate Planning Seminar at the Mower County Senior Center. Learn ways to minimize issues that can arise upon death, so that your loved ones might avoid unnecessary problems.
