The MSU Richland County Extension Office has some upcoming events that may be of interest to you. If you have any questions about the following, please call 406-433-1206.
Families and Legacies: Challenging Decisions with Dr. Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension Family Economics Specialist will be our February installment of the Winter Series. Do you know who will receive your property if you pass away without an estate plan? Do you know how title on your real and personal property impacts who receives it upon your death? If you don’t know the answer to these questions or even if you think you know, attend a presentation by Dr. Marsha Goetting. She may surprise you with the answers to those two questions. She will also explore how you can avoid probate with payable on death designations (PODs), transfer on death registrations (TODs), and transfer on death deeds (TODDS) for real property. Join the Foundation for Community Care and MSU Richland County Extension for this event on Wednesday, Feb. 8 in the upstairs room at the Meadowlark Public House, 117 S Central Ave., Sidney, at 6 p.m. We hope to see you there.
