Complimentary Estate Planning Workshop: Protecting Your Children and Your Family
February 22nd from 6:00pm – 8:00pm
There are two things every parent should get as soon as they have children: life insurance and an estate plan. While the need to get life insurance is obvious, the need to have an estate plan is often unclear for a lot of parents. Most assume that estate planning is only done to preserve wealth. Yet the most important reason to have an estate plan is to protect your children. To learn why estate planning is crucial for parents, attend our complimentary estate plan workshop or call for a complimentary consultation. The workshop is hosted at an indoor children’s playground, and children are welcome to attend with their parents. Hosted by Sona A. Tatiyants, an estate planning attorney and a Jen’s List member. Space is limited. Call 818-956-9200, email info@tatiyantslaw.com or visit www.tatiyantslaw.com to reserve your spot.

The parents then receive a weekly personal email from the CyberSibling letting them know who their child’s new friends are, photos he/she is in, and posting he/she has done. No software involved!
