SPANISH FORT, Ala. — Providence United Methodist  Church in Spanish Fort will present two programs on legal issues and long-range planning during “Mid-Week” activities on Wednesdays, Aug. 20 and 27.

Attorney Leslie Fields of Davis & Fields P.C. in Daphne will discuss issues such as estate planning, wills versus trusts, durable power of attorney, living wills and Alabama law. Other topics include long-term care options and costs; nursing home care and associated care and costs; the probate process, and legal options during periods of diminished capacity.

The study is ideal for individuals caring for aging parents, and for persons interested in their own long-range planning.

Mid-Week is held each Wednesday and includes a family fellowship meal, children’s activities and choir practice, youth “reCharge” study, adult study, and adult choir practice.
