Bridgeport, WV – May 14, 2025 – John Halterman and the Beacon Wealth Management team recently partnered with Seamon Law to host a special event designed to help people better understand the importance of estate planning and how it can protect their financial future.

  • Smart and simple ways to pass along what matters most to your loved ones.
    • The essentials everyone should know about wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.
    • How to avoid common mistakes that can cause stress for families later on.
