Our office is now open (although some are working remotely). We are giving options to meet in person or virtually (phone calls, audio/video meetings, etc.) as we continue to follow CDC guidelines. Our next free virtual “Estate Planning Essentials” workshop will be on Saturday, July 17, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Call (214) 720-0102 to register or sign up online at www.dallaselderlawyer.com. Attendees often ask questions about estate planning, probate, Medicaid and Veterans benefits. We proceed to answer the questions over the course of the workshop. Our goal is to make it easy for you to attend from the comfort of wherever you reside.
