Speaking Engagements
Aanestad Law Monthy FREE Estate Planning Workshops, Grass Valley Courtyard Suites
Aanestad Law
At Aanestad Law, we believe our clients and prospective clients should be empowered with knowledge. Our FREE monthly estate planning workshops are designed for both our existing clients and members of the public --- whether they have been thinking about getting a Living Trust Plan or already have one in place. This workshop is both a current overview of the estate planning process and a roadmap of specific services our firm offers, including our flat fee pricing plans. All attendees will be offered a FREE initial attorney consultation at the conclusion of the workshop. While many of our existing clients have attended past workshops prior to becoming clients, we welcome them back at any time for a refresher and we encourage them to bring family members, trustees, neighbors, coworkers, and friends along with them. For those who have no plan in place, our workshops are a wonderful opportunity to meet us, learn more about the estate planning process and gain a solid understanding of the concepts involved prior to coming into our office! Click the button to RSVP and attend our next estate planning workshop! We look forward to seeing you there!
