ESTATE PLANNING
WORKSHOP: PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST
Discover how to keep your family safe, your wishes honored, and your legacy
intact—without leaving it up to the courts.
THE QUESTIONS THAT KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT
Every parent, spouse, and grandparent in Pittsburgh has asked themselves:
“What happens to my family if something happens to me?”
Without a clear plan, the answers are often heartbreaking. Judges choose guardians for your kids. The state decides how your assets are divided. Families argue over inheritances. And your spouse is left managing grief and chaos at the same time. This isn’t the legacy you worked for.
WHY MOST FAMILIES PUT IT OFF
Estate planning can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve told yourself:
-
“We’re too busy right now.”
-
“We don’t have enough assets to worry about it.”
-
“We’ll figure it out later.”
But later often never comes. And when it doesn’t, your family pays the price. Probate, taxes, court battles, it all lands on their shoulders.
THE RELIEF OF CLARITY
Imagine walking into a room full of families just like yours.
No pressure.
No jargon.
Just straight answers from Pittsburgh estate planning attorneys who explain it in
plain English.
In one workshop, you’ll discover:
-
How to choose the right guardians for your kids.
-
How to protect your spouse from probate chaos.
-
How to minimize taxes so more stays with your family.
-
The difference between a will and a trust - and which one makes sense for you.
-
Why doing nothing is the most expensive option of all.
You’ll walk out knowing exactly what steps to take to keep your family safe and your
legacy intact.
WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS DIFFERENT
Most estate planning events try to scare you with worst-case scenarios. That’s not what we do.
This is not a lecture and not a sales pitch. It’s a genuine conversation in a relaxed setting, led by experienced Pittsburgh estate planning attorneys who understand both the law and the emotions behind these decisions.
You’ll hear real stories that show what happens when families plan ahead and what happens when they don’t.
You’ll see the mistakes that keep repeating in Pennsylvania households, and you’ll learn how to avoid them without feeling overwhelmed by legal jargon.
Most importantly, you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions. Whether it’s about wills, trusts, taxes, guardianship, or protecting aging parents, nothing is off-limits. We give you straight answers in plain English so you can finally feel confident about your family’s future.
And here’s the best part:
-
If you’re ready to take the next step, we’ll guide you through it.
-
If you’re not, you’ll still walk away with practical answers and a clear understanding of what matters most under Pennsylvania law.
Either way, you leave the workshop with something most families never get: clarity,
direction, and peace of mind.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
By the end of the Pittsburgh Estate Planning Workshop, you won’t just have

-

-
A roadmap for your next step - whether that’s working with us or simply taking time to think it through.
You won’t leave feeling pressured. You’ll leave feeling prepared.
And that alone can lift the weight you’ve been carrying for years.
