“Failing to plan is planning to fail.”

Sometimes attributed to Benjamin Franklin, sometimes to others, the root of the pithy saying isn’t nearly as important as whether you heed its wisdom.

With “Essentials of Estate Planning,” Jigar Doshi of Bentron Financial Group will lead a free presentation at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2nd at Addison Public Library, 4 Friendship Plaza.
