Events

We enjoyed brunch at Maggiano's in Bellevue on Sunday, January 26, 2020.
Through real-world stories, our panelists explained answers to these questions and others:  

• How do I communicate my wishes for end of life care?
• Who can make medical decisions about me if I’m unable? 
• How do I choose between Medigap and Medicare Advantage?
• How can I keep my medical expenses manageable in retirement?
• How can I pay for long-term care expenses and leave money for my surviving spouse?
• How can gifting help me pay less Washington estate tax?

There will be plenty of time for your questions.
