Why Now?

The myth that estate planning is only for the elderly or the rich simply isn’t true. Estate planning is for anyone who wants to save their family from additional grief on top of the stress and pain of losing a loved one. Most polls show that less than half of U.S. adults have a will with younger adults even less likely to have a will. Unfortunately, tragic situations happen to people of all ages. You can protect your legacy and your family with proper planning.

The Process

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Why does having a will or estate planning matter?

Estate planning is essential because the State will decide the division of your assets at your death if you do not have one. Therefore, if you want to decide what happens with what you have worked for your entire life upon your death, you need to put the time into estate planning.

What is the difference between just having a will and having an estate plan?

I believe Estate Planning is important, but do I need to do this now?

Yes. There are no guarantees in life. That includes living to old age. Ideally, it is best to establish an estate plan once you become a legal adult. It is not about how much money you have today; it’s about planning for your future and beyond. It’s empowering to make those decisions yourself. But equally important, if something happens to you, your loved ones will be grieving. Estate planning will remove the burden of what to do from them.

What is incapacity planning?

Incapacity planning falls under the umbrella of estate planning. It is a precautionary measure to prepare in case an unfortunate situation occurs leaving you unable to make your own decisions about finances and healthcare. Incapacity could occur due to a variety of tragic circumstances, including dementia, a car accident, or a stroke.

How often should an estate plan be updated?

How much will this cost?

Estate planning isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we cannot give an exact figure without determining what strategies will work best for you. Ultimately, the cost will depend on the strategies you choose for your estate plan. We offer flat fee pricing, so you’ll know upfront what the costs will be for each strategy.
