Estate Planning
You’ve been meaning to sort this out for years. This is the hour where you finally do. No jargon. No sales pressure.
You don’t need anything sorted out to come. You’ll get your Zoom link, reminders, and the full replay.
If you’ve been putting this off, you’re in good company. There’s no shame in it.
Estate planning is the kind of thing that’s easy to move to next month, and then the month after that.
But “later” has a cost, and it’s rarely paid by you. It’s paid by the people you love.
The hardest part isn’t the legal work. It’s the not knowing.
Not knowing what your current will still covers. Not knowing who would step in to raise your kids. Not knowing how long, or how expensive, probate really is.
That uncertainty is what keeps a plan stuck on the to-do list.
Caring was never the problem. Families delay because they assume it will be complicated, uncomfortable, expensive, or impossible to untangle.
It rarely is. That is what this hour is for.
Nobody regrets starting early. The regret we hear is waiting until a health scare or a big life change forces the conversation.
“How do I prevent them from going into foster care? That’s my biggest fear, honestly.”
“We’ve got two little girls. That’s what gave us the push to finally do it.”
“It makes you ask some hard, home-hitting questions you’d rather not think about.”
“We’ve both been talking for a while that we need to get off our butts and get the wills made.”
Real words from people who came to Parr Business Law to finally make a plan. If any of them sound familiar, this workshop was built for you.
A couple came to us with two young children and a will they thought was current. It had been signed before their youngest was born.
They knew who they wanted raising the kids. They had talked about it for years. They had just never put it in writing.
The gap was easy to fix. Nobody had shown them where it was.
A composite of real client situations, with details changed.
This isn’t a workshop about fear. It’s a workshop about clarity. The three things that turn “I should deal with this” into “I know exactly what to do.”
This is a live working session, not a lecture. Bring a pen and leave with your next three moves written down.
You likely already know who you’d want raising your children. The question is whether that choice is written down anywhere that counts. You’ll see how to choose and legally name a guardian, and a backup, so the decision is settled and on the record.
The delays, the paperwork, the court process, the costs, and the decisions families can get stuck navigating after something happens. And the planning choices that make life dramatically easier for the people you love.
Incapacity is the time you might still be here, but unable to make decisions for yourself. It often arrives years before a will is ever read, and it usually lands on your spouse first. You’ll learn how to cover it.
You don’t need to be wealthy, old, or in a hurry. You just need people who depend on you.
You’ve been “meaning to” for longer than you’d like to admit, and you want somewhere simple to start.
You’re a parent of young children, and you’ve never formally named a guardian to raise them.
You’re in a blended family, and “who decides, and who gets what” isn’t clearly written down.
Your will predates your children, or your current life, and it has never been updated.
You’re the adult child trying to get your parents’ plan sorted before it becomes an emergency.
If your plan is current, coordinated, and was reviewed in the last couple of years, you probably don’t need this hour. It’s for everyone still meaning to get there.
Sound like you? It’s one hour, and it’s free.
Save My Spot. It’s Free
Steve Parr isn’t a lawyer lecturing from a distance. He has been on the other side of this.
He watched his own family postpone their planning for decades, and walked through his mother’s dementia diagnosis without the clear plan that would have made it so much easier.
He is also an entrepreneur who built and sold a company before founding Parr Business Law in 2017. He knows what it is to carry a full life with a family counting on the outcome.
That is why he teaches this plainly, patiently, and without the lecture.
Over the last several years Steve has guided BC families and business owners through thousands of estate-planning and business-law matters. He also holds the Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) and Certified Executor Advisor (CEA) designations.
He teaches every minute of the session himself.
“The documents matter, but the plan matters more. Let’s make this clear.”
The relief is the part nobody expects. Once the plan is in motion, the weight people have carried for years just lifts.
“I will sleep better tonight just by knowing that this is, yeah, in the works.”

“Dad has been meaning to do this for a long time. And we finally just decided.”

You stop wondering. The guardian decision is made. The documents exist, and the people you trust know where they are.
The decisions that would otherwise land on your spouse in their worst week are already made. If life throws something at your family, nobody starts from zero.

Quite the opposite. The years when your children are youngest are when a named guardian matters most. It is the widest gap in most family plans. This workshop shows you how to close it, and how to check whether a will you may already have still does what you think it does.
Often it’s a start, not the finish. Wills are frequently out of date. Many were written before the kids, a move, or a second marriage. And a will alone says nothing about backup guardians, incapacity, or what happens in the first hours if you can’t be reached. The workshop shows you, plainly, where a will stops and what a complete plan adds.
A trust is a way of leaving money to your children with instructions attached, so it reaches them gradually, at the right times, instead of all at once. Whether your family needs one depends on your situation, and the workshop explains it well enough that you can decide for yourself, either way.
You’re in good company. It’s the single hardest question in family planning, and plenty of parents arrive without an answer. The workshop gives you a way to work through it: what actually matters in the choice, how to name a backup, and how to make it official once you’ve decided. You don’t need the answer before you attend.
If you can, yes. These decisions move faster when both of you hear the same hour. One registration works fine for a shared screen, or register separately and you’ll each get the replay.
This is the gap that worries parents most, and most plans never address it. Without clear instructions, the people who love your children can be left without legal authority in the hours that matter most. The workshop covers how to bridge that gap, so there’s a clear, immediate answer instead of a scramble.
Yes. Register and we’ll send the full replay within 24 hours, whether or not you attend. But the replay includes the teaching. The live session includes the answers. If you can make it live, come.
No. You don’t need documents, numbers, or decisions made. That’s what the hour is for. If you want a small head start, knowing roughly when your current will was signed (if you have one) is plenty.
No. The workshop is education, start to finish. At the end, if you’d like to go further, you’ll be invited, not pushed, to book an Estate Clarity Session, a relaxed working meeting where a PBL lawyer helps you map your own plan. That’s the only ask, and it’s entirely your call. You’re also free to take everything you learn and act on it yourself.
You probably already know what you want. Who you’d choose, and what you’d want done. This workshop is where intentions become a plan, without turning into a legal marathon.
It’s one hour. And then this is finally moving.
