Haverhill attorney Gerald L. Shyavitz discusses the importance of end-of-life estate planning at a talk sponsored by the Haverhill Council on Aging.
Shyavitz’s free lecture is Friday, Jan. 16, at 10 a.m., in room 45 of the Haverhill Citizens Center, 10 Welcome St., Haverhill.
Among items he will review is how to pick a health care proxy. He said he will use himself as an example as his proxy status became important when his wife of 57 years, Pearl, was hospitalized shortly before she died in 2024. Also on the agenda are strategies for protecting assets, avoiding probate court, living wills and trusts.
Shyavitz will offer a free in-office consultation to those who attend his talk.
