Attorney Diedre Wachbrit of T.O. will speak to Conejo Valley parents on how to protect their families at a free seminar at 6:30 p.m. Tues., May 24 at the Agoura Hills Library, 29901 Ladyface Court, Agoura Hills. She’ll discuss "Five Steps to Choosing Your Child’s Guardian" and healthcare directives to protect parents from a situation like Terri Schiavo’s.

"Parents with a child under the age of 18 must consider who would raise that child if they were unable to. They can make a tremendous difference in their child’s life by planning ahead. I hope this community event will give families the confidence they need to take action," said Wachbrit.
