Start organizing your important documents today—so your loved ones don’t have to.
Throughout your life, you’ve been there for your family. You’ve protected them and shown them how much they mean to you. So why not give them the ultimate gift—a plan! Making your estate plan now means less stress and more love for those who matter most.
Estate planning is one of the most overlooked areas of personal financial management. It is estimated that more than half of American adults don’t have an estate plan, in part because many believe that this process is intended for the wealthy or retired. Estate planning is for everyone!
If you have an estate plan, it’s recommended that you review it every three to five years—or after a major life event (marriage, birth of a family member, divorce, death of a family member)—to ensure your investments, assets, and philanthropic distributions reflect your wishes.
