Course: Estate & Legacy Planning Webinar (1.0 hour of General CE Credit)
ODI Course ID: 70270; Instructor: Attorney Elliott Feldman (Elliott Feldman Law Group)
This course teaches you how to keep your family out of court and conflict should something happen to you.

Location: Live Webinar (Online)
Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm EST
(No Exam Required At The End)
More about Estate Planning Attorney Elliott Feldman and his law firm:
Elliott Feldman became an estate planning attorney as a consequence of being in the exact position that you never want your family to be in.
When Elliott was just 7 years old, his father passed away unexpectedly at the age of 47. Even though his dad, years prior, went to one of the top firms in town to get his estate plan in place, Elliott’s mom –– STILL –– had to go through almost 3 years in probate court and had to pay her probate attorney $55,000 by the end of it!
Looking back, Elliott always thought this was Malpractice.
Turns out –– it’s COMMON PRACTICE!
This is because the traditional estate planning industry creates estate plans based on an outdated methodology that pushes all clients into the same dirty, templated plan, which is destined to fail when the client’s loved ones need it most.
When Elliott became an estate planning attorney, he made a commitment to never let his clients suffer what he and his mom suffered by creating estate plans that would ACTUALLY WORK when his clients’ families would need it most by keeping the family out of court and out of conflict should something happen.
That's why Elliott is hosting this live 1-hour CE webinar for NAIFA Ohio Insurance Members at No Charge!
