AARP Eye Center
If you find thoughts of wills and estate planning overwhelming, you’re not alone. AARP New York is here to demystify the process with its popular series of workshops on legal paperwork.
This fall’s offerings look at Legal Documents: Myths & Misconceptions, presented by noted elder- law attorney Jeff Rheinhardt.
All classes are via Zoom, on Thursdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There will be a Q&A at the end of each session.
