Free Financial Seminar for Seniors and their Families

Topics will include: how to avoid scams; what are the “must have” legal documents when estate planning; how to determine whether a reverse mortgage is the right choice for an individual; and how to reconcile accounts, hidden fees and automatic bill pay on savings and checking accounts. 

“Knowing financial do’s and don’ts helps to protect our senior residents,” Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said. “Walsh College’s independent experts will offer great financial advice without the pressure that sometimes goes along with it.”

“Walsh College’s experts blend business theory and real-world experience,” said Tara R. Miceli, director of the Walsh Institute. “They will deliver practical advice based on years of know-how.”

The Oakland County Senior Advisory Council determined the topics from surveys it sent to seniors at senior care organizations throughout the county. The council encourages early registration since seating is limited to 150 people per seminar. For reservations or more information, call 248-858-4902 or click on oakgov.com/seniors.
