Planning for What Matters Most: Protecting Your Family, Your Future & Your Peace of Mind
Life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them — and the people in this room know better than most how important it is to be prepared. We've brought together three local experts who are passionate about helping families and business owners protect what they've worked so hard to build. Whether you're thinking about care for an aging parent, getting your estate documents in order, or making sure your family has the right coverage in place, this conversation is for you.

Francine Hwang — Founder, Franny Cares

Francine Hwang founded FrannyCares out of a deeply personal mission: to make sure that anyone who needs care can always get it. After years in the healthcare industry, Francine witnessed firsthand how caregiver shortages were leaving vulnerable people — especially the elderly — without the support they deserved. In 2022, she launched FrannyCares, an AI-powered job marketplace that connects healthcare professionals with employers, helping build a more stable and sustainable caregiving workforce. For families navigating aging parents, a sudden health event, or long-term care needs, Francine brings both the expertise and the heart to help you understand your options before a crisis forces your hand.

Seth Bier — Owner/Attorney, Bier Law

Seth Bier spent years as court-appointed counsel in Los Angeles' Mental Health and Probate Courts, watching families lose control of their most important decisions — not because they didn't care, but because they hadn't planned. That experience led him to leave the courtroom and launch Bier Law with his wife and co-owner Leann, focused entirely on estate planning for South Bay families. Seth helps clients create personalized plans covering wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — the tools that keep your wishes in your hands and your family out of court. His approach is warm, patient, and judgment-free, because he knows these conversations aren't easy.

Oscar Garcia — HIR Insurance Agency

Oscar Garcia is an independent insurance agent with HIR Insurance Agency who specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses find coverage that actually fits their lives. From Group Health Plans and Medicare Advantage to Individual and Family Health and Life Insurance, Oscar brings a knack for translating complex insurance decisions into clear, confident choices. As an independent agent, he works for his clients — not the carriers — which means he can shop the market to find the right solution for your specific situation. If you've ever felt confused or underserved by your current coverage, Oscar is the kind of advisor you wish you'd found sooner.

Robert Bobich - Green Hills Memorial Park
Robert Bobich is a Community Relations representative at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes, where he has built deep ties across the South Bay through his commitment to outreach and community engagement. A San Pedro native, Robert holds a Mass Communications degree from California State University Dominguez Hills and brings a diverse professional background that includes work in the maritime industry, journalism with the Daily Breeze, and time with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He is an active volunteer with Holy Trinity Church and a longtime coach in youth sports. Robert serves on the Board of Directors of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce.
