AARP Montana

According to new research from AARP, Montana’s 50-plus population has an outsize economic impact that will help the state recover financially from the pandemic and drive growth for the next three decades.

Montana State University Extension is collaborating with AARP Montana for a three-part Tele-Town Hall estate planning series starting in October and running through January. The series is presented by Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension family economics specialist and professor at MSU. Dr. Goetting said that, for some Montanans, estate planning can be one of the most important and confusing decisions they make in their lives. It raises questions of personal legacy and how to assure the right people receive one’s property after death.
