Join us at Opportunity Bank’s Operation Center (1550 Vandelay Ave, Helena MT) on Thursday, February 20th for this informative and engaging presentation!

Please Join Us on February 20, 2025 at 1550 Vandelay Ave for this FREE presentation and reception, sponsored by the Drake Law Firm. Marsha will present the same presentation twice, once from 3:00-5:00 PM and once from 6:00-8:00 PM. Seating is limited and does require a ticketed reservation.

During Marsha’s interactive and entertaining Wildflower Reflections: Families, Legacies and Estate Planning you will learn the impact of how the title on property impacts who received it when you die. You will discover when a will or a trust has control over your property and when neither one does. You will discover how you can avoid probate fees with POD designations, TODs registrations and beneficiary deeds. Dr. Goetting will also highlight a Montana statue that allows you to distribute items that do not have a title; estate planning aspects of common law marriages; and how testamentary trusts can be used to protect minors.
