Did you know this week is National Estate Planning Awareness Week?

In 2008, the US House of Representatives designated the third week in October as National Estate Planning Awareness Week. The purpose of the week is to bring awareness of the vital importance of estate planning.

Today, our attorneys Jennifer Wright and Kara Karbs Givens are attending the monthly Cannon teleconference on estate planning hosted by Trust Company of Oklahoma. We’re committed to continuing our education and staying current on estate planning laws and trends so we can provide our clients with knowledgeable guidance.

💜 **A Big THANK YOU to Our October ACAP Oklahoma City Speakers!** 💜

What a wonderful October seminar! 👏

A heartfelt thank you to **Jennifer Wright of Wright Law Firm** and **Brian Hancock of Edward Jones** for sharing their time, knowledge, and expertise during our discussion, **“Helping Without Taking Over: Legal and Financial Tools for Caregivers.”**

There is always SO much to learn when it comes to helping our aging parents navigate legal and financial decisions, and this month's conversation was packed with valuable information. I think it's safe to say **everyone walked away learning something new!**

One of the greatest things about ACAP is bringing knowledgeable professionals and trusted community resources together in one place. These are the people and organizations we can turn to for guidance, education, and up-to-date information as we help our aging loved ones.

We are so fortunate to have professionals like Jennifer and Brian willing to share their expertise with families in our community.

**Thank you both for an amazing presentation and for helping us continue ACAP's mission of educating, supporting, and connecting adult children of aging parents!** 💜

And thank you to everyone who joined us! We look forward to seeing you in November!

We talk to a lot of people about Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts.

But we actually prepare far fewer of them than you might think.

Why? Because a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust can be a very useful planning tool, but it doesn’t make sense for every situation.

There are important factors to consider before deciding whether one is right for you, including your goals, timing, assets, and overall plan.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at these trusts.

Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts have an important place in long-term care planning, but they aren’t appropriate for everyone. The decision requires looking beyond the potential asset protection to consider what someone is giving up, how soon they may need care, and what types of assets they own. ...

I (Jennifer Wright) concluded my 7-year tenure on the board of the Oklahoma City Estate Planning Council this month, serving as President this past year. It has been my honor to serve on this board, and I will continue to be involved as a member going forward. For our last meeting, we welcomed attorney and author Porter Heath Morgan IV, who shared insights on the future of AI, as well as estate planning considerations. His presentation was very thought-provoking. Heath recently authored the young adult novel The Memory Project (link in comments). At the meeting, the board presented Carol Thompson, the Council's longtime administrator, with flowers and a gift in recognition of her 25 years of service to the Council and her retirement from the Council.

Grateful to be in Miami this week attending the Academy of Special Needs Planners Conference alongside so many dedicated professionals who are passionate about serving individuals with disabilities and their families.

Some of the most valuable takeaways so far have been around practical strategies for improving the administration of special needs trusts, navigating evolving public benefits rules (many changes coming!), and finding better ways to collaborate with financial advisors and care teams to support long-term planning for clients.

It’s always refreshing to step away from the day-to-day and spend time learning, sharing ideas, and thinking more intentionally about how we can continue to elevate the level of service we provide.

Looking forward to bringing these insights back to the team so we can better support the families we serve.
