Financial Seminar for Gay Men and Lesbians
presented by Jon Shigemura of MetLife

Many couples have the mentality of "Well, I only have to take care of myself financially and maybe help support my spouse, but that's really it." But what happens when someone is no longer capable of making decisions for themselves? What happens to the property that is shared? Who inherits and/or handles the house, car, bank accounts?

The overall goal of this workshop is to present couples with solutions to cover their assets (and future) for each other and their family members.
