Estate planning will allow you to be remembered the way you want. It facilitates the distribution of your assets according to your wishes and gives purpose to what you've accomplished in your lifetime.
- Your Estate Plan
The legacy you leave for your loved ones. It allows you to better manage your family’s financial future, as well as your own.
- Your Will
The foundation of your estate plan. It allows you to choose your beneficiaries and ensure that each gets exactly what you want
- Trusts offer great rewards and they're not just for millionaires
You can use trusts to protect your assets and simplify the speed of transferring them to your beneficiaries
- Reasons for not having an estate plan
For something as important as estate planning, many wonder why they aren’t becoming increasingly popular.
- No one wants to talk or think about their death
Our general response to our own mortality is to avoid it or discussions surrounding it for as long as possible. However, addressing this certainty could be one of the best gifts we can leave our loved ones.
- Estate planning is for the super rich
Another misconception is that estate plans are for the extremely wealthy. This myth has often deterred persons from putting their houses in order before death. The size of an individual’s portfolio (property, investments, cash etc) does not determine whether it qualifies for an estate plan. An estate can be a house and several thousand dollars in assets or a mansion and several million.
- No one wants to talk or think about their death
Whatever the size of your estate, a good estate plan ensures that you will leave the legacy you desire for your heirs with minimal headaches.
