Estate Planning Awareness Week!

On the week of October 19-25, we celebrated Estate Planning Awareness Week. This week was adopted in 2008 to help the public understand what estate planning is and why it is such a vital component of financial wellness. At Sivia Law, we participated by posting daily facts, informational videos, blogs and live videos. Check out our Facebook for all of the details.
