Free Estate Planning Education for Groups and Organizations
Education has always been at the heart of what we do at Bier Law.
Attorney Seth Bier offers free educational workshops that help people understand estate planning in real life — without pressure, sales tactics, or legal jargon.
These sessions are available in person or virtually for community groups, organizations, businesses, and private groups of friends or families. Workshops can be held in a private home, workplace, community space, or another venue that’s convenient to the group.
