MHS MontiArts Art Club is for 9-12th grade students who attend Monticello High School. It is a great opportunity for students who are looking to create a variety of art forms while being in the company of peers. Each week, students are encouraged to bring anything they are working on and many supplies will be available at no charge from MontiArts. (montiarts.com) There will be a variety of optional projects throughout the year (mural projects, mosaics, glow parade, etc) This activity takes place in the MontiArts Building (349 W Broadway) in downtown Monticello.

The trust is a very popular component and tool to be used in our Estate Planning. However, there is a variety of vastly different Trust options to be used and the question arises: “Am I using the right Trust for my needs and goals?” Often used Trusts include: Living Trusts, Testamentary Trusts and Irrevocable Trusts, each serves a different purpose, each has a different result. One common problem that often needs addressing is the over-utilization of the Living Trust for goals or problems that it does not resolve. For example, “Does my Living Trust protect my assets against Medicaid and the nursing home?” The answer is probably not. The Irrevocable Trust and the Testamentary Trust each have their strengths and weaknesses as well. We will clearly define the strengths and weaknesses of these different types of Trusts and when to use them. Explore your goals and wishes to see where they fall in the realm of Trusts. Class encourages questions and we hope to provide answers that will set your mind at ease or assist you in the decision making in this area. Instructor: Steven J.
