Estate Planning Session Planned
An Estate Planning meeting will
be held Tuesday, September 27, at
7:30 in the First Coleman National
Bank. Speakers will be Bob Kens-
ing, economist for the Extension
service and Keith Good with the

“This is a very important topic, as
each person is aware of, but doesn't
like to think about or talk about”,
states Kirby Vanover. He also
states “we are not going to live
forever, each one of us is going to
die some day."
A little planning on a yearly basis
is needed to ensure that your
personal property is handled the
way you desire. An estate plan also
keeps the Government from getting
such a big share from inheritance
taxes. No matter how small or large
your estate, you need to have a plan
before you die. For more details call
Kirby C. Vanover at 6254519.
