Welcome to Table Talk!

Over the last year, we have all spent more time at home than we planned. One of the highlights of the time at home has been the conversations that happen around gatherings in the kitchen. Our monthly series, Table Talk, brings these conversations to you in your home or office on a variety of estate planning topics. 
 
Sit down with us at our virtual table during our scheduled monthly talks, which can be found here, or gather a small group of guests and contact us to schedule a private Table Talk on one of the below topics.
