The Partnership Community Development Corporation‘s Neighborhood Advisory Committee office is inviting community members to a series of free workshops, titled Community Conversations. There will be two workshops this month. The first workshop is on Wednesday, June 4, and is about the importance of estate planning and avoiding tangled titles.

You’ve probably heard about cases where families are being displaced out of their homes because a deceased family member did not have a will and the person in the home did not transfer ownership. Without the right documentation for the house residents, they are unable to access city resources for home improvements, housing counseling for foreclosure proceedings and tax delinquencies. Tomorrow’s meeting is being held to inform, help and prevent Philadelphia residents from facing these challenges.

Paulette Adams, Director of Community Development for Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell’s Office and a representative from the City of Philadelphia’s Register of Wills will be in attendance to present information.

The workshop will take place from 6 – 7 p.m. at the Community College of Philadelphia West Branch (4725 Chestnut St).

A retirement planning workshop is scheduled for June 25 (see flier).

If you have any questions please feel free to call the NAC Office at 215-662-1612 ext. 12.
