" I am curious as to why nearly all estate planning events are held during normal working hours 7:00AM to 3:30PM for most of our populus. Nearly all events both public and private relating to retirement assume that you are already retired and don't have to take time off from work to attend. "

" I'm sure all 3 presenters would be very glad to do your estate planning for you should you decide to do so, for a fee of course. "

" Sales free? Hah!!!! I've attended these types of seminars in the past and they always give you a "bare bones", limited amount of info for free but if you want anything of substance then the almighty dollar is needed. These are nothing more than a glorified sales pitch. Buyer beware! "

" I have attended an estate-planning presentation by the attorney mentioned in the article. There was no sales pitch involved, at all. Sure, she did mention that she works with clients for estate planning. I didn't mind hearing that, because it was evidence of her credentials to give the presentation. But, she did not push anything. However, she was the only presenter at the one I attended, so I don't really know what the others will say. I agree with enesgnade that it is curious that these sorts of events are usually held when people are at work. You'd think that most of the people who are already retired have also already done their estate planning. Very curious indeed... "
