PUBLIC SEMINARS

November is Make a Will Month. Join one of our many virtual sessions, listed below, to learn about the importance of having a will and powers of attorney for you and your family. Lawyers who practice Trusts and Estate Law will speak about the elements of a will, what happens if you don’t have one, what are powers of attorney, why they are important and special considerations to keep in mind when preparing your estate and care plans.
