Enjoy a nice complimentary dinner by joining estate planning attorney Ryan Taylor of Mason Law & Planning Group, as he walks you through a proven approach to estate and retirement planning.

At this complimentary dinner seminar, attorney Ryan Taylor will provide you with actionable information that you will be able to use for your own personal estate planning.

If you own a home, a business, or have any assets, you owe it to yourself, and your family, to get honest facts on proper estate planning.

Many past attendees who already have a simple Will were astonished to learn that they were not as protected as they thought.

Ryan Taylor's Estate Planning Workshop will educate you on the legal and practical steps you should take to protect your assets, your wishes, and the people that you love.

Ryan takes a common sense approach to teach you what you need to know without boring you with legalese.

You will learn:

  • How to name a guardian for a minor child or grandchild
  • How to avoid a long and expensive court process known as probate
  • How to make your medical wishes known and ensure they are honored
  • How to make sure the money you leave behind would be immediately and privately available to your family
  • How to protect your spouse and children’s inheritance from creditors, predators, future divorces, and lawsuits
  • How to leave behind more than just money and homes, but pass on a legacy

Ryan Taylor is an energetic speaker that will have you clearly understand what all of these mean and how they affect your estate.

  • General Durable Power of Attorney
  • Healthcare Power of Attorney
  • HIPAA Authorization
  • Living Wills
  • Wills/Probate
  • Living Trusts

This is not a boring classroom setting where most usually struggle to retain the information. Ryan uses real-life cases and examples of some of the hundreds of families he helps each year.  All attendees will be able to relate to the subject matter presented.

Attorney Ryan Taylor's Estate Planning Dinner Workshop is ideal for any adult to attend, whether you’re married, single, elderly, wealthy, disabled, parents, or grandparents. We even suggest you bring your adult heirs.

If you are married, we recommend that you both attend as he’ll be covering information that will pertain to both of you.

FAQs

How long is Ryan Taylor's Estate Planning Workshop?

This workshop usually runs 60-90 minutes and is presented during dinner.

Does this cost me anything to attend?

No, this event is complimentary and includes dinner. You will not be sold anything at this event.

What if I already have an estate plan?

Many people who attend our workshops already have some type of estate planning in place.  They use the workshop as an opportunity to re-evaluate their choices, or to feel more confident that their existing plan will fully protect them.

"I went to Paul's workshop, and I was blown away how much information he covered. When my wife signed us up, I figured I would be bored to death. He is a great speaker. Providing dinner was a big bonus too."
