Welcome to Table Talk!

Some of the most thoughtful and engaging conversations happen around the kitchen table—where ideas are shared, questions are asked, and stories unfold. Inspired by these meaningful moments, our Table Talk series brings that same spirit of connection to you in your home or office through discussions on a variety of estate planning topics.

Sit down with us at our virtual table by gathering a small group of guests and contacting us to schedule a private Table Talk on one of the topics listed below.
