Berkeley Township Historical Society presents:
K. A.&nbsp;Nelson: "Killing Shore: The True Story of Hitler's U-boats Off the New Jersey Coast."
K. A.&nbsp;Nelson is a Marine Corps veteran, wreck diver, and history author in the Philadelphia area. He will be speaking on the subject of his upcoming nonfiction book, "Killing Shore: The True Story of Hitler's U-boats Off the New Jersey Coast." The main narrative centers on eleven ships attacked by U-boats off the Jersey Shore during WWII, with each incident portrayed from multiple perspectives: victims, attackers, rescuers, and ordinary Americans ashore. Exhaustive research was used to reconstruct these events with a dramatic "survivor's eye" view, and the eleven individual accounts are interwoven into a single overarching narrative about how the Battle of the Atlantic came to American waters and how the U-boats were ultimately defeated there. The final chapter presents the later lives of the surviving characters (all real people) and the legacy of shipwrecks and wreck diving off the Jersey Shore.
All meetings start at 6:00 pm with a BTHS Business meeting. Presentations start promptly at 7:00 pm. Light refreshments served.

<h1>WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT "WILL AWARENESS" IN 2024</h1>
 <h3>If you're among the people who are on the fence about a will, the best way to make smart decisions for your situation is to be armed with the facts.</h3>
 
If you've got a family, a home and any kind of financial account, you should definitely have a will in place. When done properly, a will can help individuals resolve everything from designating a guardian for children, to passing on a family-owned small business, and mitigating any intra-family conflicts. We know family changes like marriage, divorce, births and deaths are all but guaranteed. These life events can render a will obsolete and unaligned to your wishes, can prove problematic if not updated.
 
Please Join us for this complimentary informational seminar at Ocean County Library. We will discuss how to create a solid life after work plan. Seating is limited, so <a href="https://events.afceducators.org/campaigns/will-awareness-230#register" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sign up</a> today!
 
Did you know?
<ul><li>76% of Americans age 18- 65 and older said that having a will is important yet only 40% actually have one.</li><li>Only 66% of those age 65 or older have a will or living trust.</li><li>57% of U.S. adults do not currently have documents such as a will or living trust.</li></ul>
 
These important topics will be addressed:
<ul><li>Do I need a Will? Trust? Powers of Attorney? Health Care Directive?</li><li>How can I avoid the cost and delays of PROBATE?</li><li>How can I reduce Estate Taxes and leave more money to my loved ones?</li><li>How can I protect my assets from the devastation of Nursing Home cost?</li><li>Who will care for your underage children?</li><li>How will you keep your heirs from frivolously spending his/her inheritance?</li><li>Who gets your home, who inherits all of your bank accounts, who will get your assets?</li><li>Can you avoid family arguments over your belongings and keepsakes?</li><li>How can I create Tax-Free Income at retirement?</li><li>Who decides your healthcare or end-of-life decisions?</li></ul>
We will be discussing:
<ul><li>Do's and don'ts for transferring your assets (including your home or farm to your children)</li><li>The benefits of avoiding probate for your family</li><li>Protection from unexpected nursing home costs without nursing home insurance</li><li>How to reduce or eliminate many forms of taxation</li><li>The importance of having the right legal documents at the right time</li></ul>
 
If there's a common unaddressed problem in the financial plans of many adults of all income levels, it’s what to do about their assets when they’re gone. 50% of all Americans will die without a will and 76% of Americans do not have an up-to-date will.
This event is not sponsored by the Ocean County Library system.
Spouses are encouraged to attend!
Seating is limited. <a href="https://events.afceducators.org/campaigns/will-awareness-230#register" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Register now!</a>
