“All the Tools You Need in Your Estate Plan”

Understanding the essential pieces of a complete estate plan.

Join SSPGC as we welcome Hayden Taylor, Attorney at Law, for an informative overview of the key documents that make up a comprehensive estate plan.

What documents should be included in an estate plan—and what role does each one play? Hayden will walk us through the typical documents used to address legal, financial, and medical matters, explaining what each document does and how they work together to create a complete estate plan.

Whether you work with donors, clients, or families on legacy planning, this session will provide a helpful foundation for understanding the essential pieces of an estate plan and the important considerations that may accompany them.

Hayden Taylor is a partner at Eisenhower Carlson PLLC in Tacoma, WA, and an experienced member of the firm’s estate planning practice group.
