Estate Planning

  • According to AARP, of those aged 72 and older, 81% have a will or other estate plans in place.

  • For many people, thoughtful financial planning has taken a backseat to everyday life. Because you are here, you may be ready to consider the reality - a well planned estate strategy is necessary to ensure your wishes are followed. In addition, good planning on your part can save the your family and loved ones from financial and emotional strife or bickering.

"While the worriers are worrying, the planners are planning and the accountants are figuring out why we can't afford it, I'm busy getting started."

Should I use an estate planning firm?
