About this event

Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, but having the right documents in place provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Join us as Elder Law Attorney Jonathan Bowman shares his expertise and guides us through the essential estate planning tools that every Washington resident should know about.

We’ll cover the role and purpose of key documents, including:

Durable Power of Attorney – Health Care and Durable Power of Attorney – Finances
Living Will/Medical Directive
Authorization to Release Protected Healthcare Information
Funeral and Burial Instructions
Wills and Trusts

We’ll also explore what happens if someone in Washington dies without a Will—how state law determines who inherits assets, and why that may not align with your own wishes.

Jonathan L. Bowman is the managing partner of his Seattle law firm, focusing on Estate Planning, Elder Law, and related areas. A member of the Washington State Bar since 1993, he frequently lectures on estate planning and currently serves as Chair of the Real Property, Probate & Trust Law Section of the King County Bar Association and Vice President of the Senior Care Coalition.
