Who attends

This workshop is for you if...

Oregon homeowners

You own real estate. A will alone triggers probate. This workshop will show you exactly what that costs and what to do instead.

Legal insurance members

Your legal benefit may cover the plan. Bring your member ID or provider name and leave knowing how to use coverage you've probably never touched.

Couples with children

Minor children require more planning — guardianship, trusts, beneficiary order. We go through all of it.

Procrastinators

You've been meaning to do this for years. The workshop creates the momentum. Most attendees start their plan within two weeks.

What attendees say

From past workshops

The Q&A alone was worth the hour and a half. I finally understood what a pour-over will actually does.

Portland · Workshop attendees

I'd been putting this off for four years. The workshop gave me enough of a deadline — I engaged with the attorney the following week.

Clear, no jargon, no pressure. Just a good explanation of a complicated topic.

Questions

About the workshop

Yes. We run these because education is part of how we work. At the end, we'll explain how to get started if you want to — but there's no obligation and no follow-up sales call.

Just yourself. If you have legal insurance, bring your member ID or note your provider and employer — it helps if you want to verify coverage at the end. A notepad is useful but not required.

Both options are offered. Online sessions run via Zoom. In-person sessions are held at our Portland office. Registration confirms the format.

No. You are welcome to attend and leave. Most people do end up starting a plan — but there is no obligation and no follow-up sales call.
