Deaf Community Workshop - Do I Need a Will?

Learn the basics of creating a will and why it’s an important step in planning for your future. Led by Attorney Matt Kaplan, this workshop will walk you through what a will does, how it protects your assets, and how it ensures your wishes are honored.

Designed for members of the Deaf community, this session provides clear, accessible information in a supportive environment where participants can ask questions and build confidence in making important legal decisions.
