It’s time to talk about the scary stuff No one likes to talk about dying, but accidents and illnesses don’t discriminate. Parents often have the best intentions to get started, then they get caught off guard with a sudden death or diagnosis. No one thinks it will happen to them, until it does. And unfortunately with estate planning and life insurance, there is such a thing as being “too late.” If you want to protect what’s most important to you, attend Pump Station’s next Sizzling Hot Topic, taught by two Jen’s list moms. Invest in your Nest: Protect Your Family with Estate Planning & Life Insurance on Nov. 5th at 6:30pm (Hollywood) & Nov. 11th at 7:00pm (Santa Monica). $25 registration fee. To sign up, go to http://bit.ly/1bFCIbW, email info@tatiyantslaw.com or call 818-956-9200.
