Empowering Couples Through Estate Planning: A Recap from Love, Lunch & Learn
Love, Lunch & Learn — Educating Couples on Protecting Their Legacy
sToday, Attorney Camelia Ruffin had the pleasure of speaking at Cross Culture Church’s Love, Lunch & Learn — an event designed to empower married couples with practical knowledge to protect their assets, their marriage, and their legacy.
Camelia’s goal was simple, yet significant: help couples understand the importance of estate planning and how to avoid probate.
During the session, she broke down in clear, everyday language the tools available to safeguard a family’s financial future. Couples learned:
How titling accounts and assets the right way affects inheritance
Which documents truly shape what happens after someone passes
How to ensure their intentions are honored — not left to default state rules
Camelia walked through essentials like:
Wills
Trusts
Financial Power of Attorney
Healthcare Directives
and even touched on long-term care planning and Medicaid questions from the group — a sign that families want to be proactive but often just haven’t been taught where to start.
The conversation was honest, insightful, and eye-opening.
Most couples left realizing that estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy, it’s for anyone who wants clarity, protection, and control over what happens later.
If your family needs guidance on estate planning or probate avoidance, The Ruffin Firm is here to help.
