Here’s what some live seminar participants had to say about the value of this program:
I had read the new EAA, but the presenters made it much more understandable and put it in context.”
“All presentations were done in ‘plain English’ and easily understood.”
“I feel a lot more prepared about the new changes that will come into effect.”
“The seminar was very informative, and the presenters had a clear understanding and conveyed it well to the audience. The written materials will be a helpful tool when it comes to doing future probates/administrations.”
