“Even when it’s expected, handling the details immediately after the death of a loved one can be like navigating uncharted territory,” an event organizer said. “But it doesn’t have to be. Come to LTSC’s “Preparing for Death” workshop on Feb. 4 and learn about the decisions families have to make, expenses associated with death and who to call for more information when you need it.”

The second workshop will be held on March 4 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. also at the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute. Little Tokyo Service Center is working with the Foundation for Financial Planning to offer free one-on-one sessions with professionals from the Financial Planning Association.

The individual sessions will cover a wide range of personal finance topics such as budgeting, credit and debt, retirement, taxes, estate planning, small business and more. Japanese interpretations will be provided if needed. There are a limited number of 30-minute sessions so pre-registration is required.
