Attorney Michael Hatch presents a free WOW! Working on Wellness Forum entitled, “Elder Law: Simple Steps Towards Peace of Mind,” starting at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave., Sequim.

Hatch’s goal in estate planning is to get loved-ones to talk with each other. Though assets preservation and passing on wealth to heirs is important, Hatch says he now believes that the most important aspect of estate planning is the enrichment of familial communications and love.

“Good estate planning nurtures love within a family — poor estate planning leads to estrangement, isolation and the loss of that which is most important,” he said.

For 40 years, Hatch has been practicing criminal, civil and elder law; negotiating and managing contracts for ITT and Bendix corporations.

He also has taught university law classes.

From 1:45-2:15 p.m., volunteer nurses from the Dungeness Valley Health &Wellness Clinic will be available to check the blood pressure of anyone who may be interested.
