What People Say about the Virtual LifePlanning Workshop

LifePlanning helped me address the gray areas in my retirement plan, the issues that my estate plan didn’t address, and my financial planner didn’t want talk about. I’m so grateful for this process! - Gillian, Life Planning Workshop Participant, 2021

This is so much more than legal planning. The workshop helps you to focus on everything you need to plan for, such as medical care, housing options, family issues, and financial planning, not just the will, medical directives, and financial power of attorney. Highly recommended! – Challis, Life Planning Workshop Participant, 2021

It’s worth the price of gold knowing that I won’t be burdening my children as I age. - Geoffrey, LifePlanning Workshop Participant – 2021

Rajiv shows you how the system really works and what you need to pull everything together for a safe and happy retirement. —Chandra Lewnau, Elder Law Attorney, Seattle, Washington

Finally! Rajiv Nagaich makes all the pieces of the overwhelming retirement puzzle fit together. —Randy Foley, client via Facebook
