... continued from Cover properly titled, accounted for, preserved, and directed to the people or causes you care about most. • Stays updated over time. Your life isn’t static, and your plan shouldn’t be either. If you created an estate plan more than five years ago, chances are it could fail when you and your loved ones need it most. The reason? The law changes, tax rules change, your health changes, and your relationships change over time. Decisions that made sense five or 10 years ago may be decisions you would never make today. Planning is not just about protecting money; it's about protecting relationships, dignity, and peace of mind. When your family knows exactly what you want and how to provide it, they can focus on loving and supporting you instead of worrying about making the "right" decisions. Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones Today The realities of aging are unavoidable: Health problems occur, relationships shift, and more of us will face the prospect of living alone. But you don’t have to face uncertainty. With our comprehensive planning process, you can prepare now for the care you may one day need, ensure your wishes are respected, and give your family the priceless gift of clarity. It all begins with a planning session. During this two-hour working session, you will: • Get clear on what would happen to your assets and loved ones if something happened to you today. • Create a complete inventory of everything you own so nothing is ever lost or overlooked. • Explore your family dynamics, values, and goals to design a plan that reflects what matters most to you. • Pick the right plan that fits your values, goals, and budget. • Once you’ve chosen the right plan for you, we will create a plan together that works when your loved ones need it most.
