Darien Library presents an online event that will help you make some of life’s most important decisions: what you will leave to the ones you love. — an announcement from Darien Library

Mark P. Chioffi, managing member of Chioffi Law LLC, will share the importance of various estate planning documents — wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives. Chioffi will also shed some light on federal and state gift and estate tax exemptions, annual exclusion gifts, benefits of using trusts versus outright distributions to beneficiaries, the importance of coordinating beneficiary designations for retirement accounts and life insurance, and what to consider when selecting fiduciaries such as executors, trustees, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, and healthcare representatives. ‘Begin With the End in Mind’ Series
This program is part of “Begin With the End in Mind,” a series at Darien Library. The end is not a topic many feel comfortable discussing and that is why we are often not prepared when the time comes.
