A will gives you a say in what happens to your estate. Without one, those decisions may no longer be in your hands. Swipe through for a quick breakdown of what can happen when there is no will in place.

If you have questions about creating or updating your will, contact our office to start the conversation. We are here to help you protect what matters most.

Many couples build their plans around each other.

My spouse will handle it.
That's completely understandable.

But a good plan should also consider the backup.

If your spouse couldn't serve, then who?
Who is your successor Power of Attorney?
Who is the backup healthcare decision-maker?
Who would serve as executor or trustee?
Who would have the information they need?

Estate planning has a lot of “Plan B” built into it for a reason.
Hopefully, Plan A works beautifully.

But the people you love will be grateful that you thought one step further.

📌 Send this to your spouse and ask one question:
“Do we know who our backups are?”

Here's your screenshot-worthy family conversation guide.

You don't need spreadsheets.
You don't need everyone sitting around a conference table.
And you definitely don't need to begin with:
“Okay everyone, today we're discussing death.” 😳

Make some coffee. Sit around the kitchen table. Ask a few questions.

The goal isn't to know everyone's account balances or inheritances.

The goal is for the right people to understand enough that they aren't starting from zero during a difficult moment.

And question #5 may be the most important:
“Is there anything you want us to know?”

Then give them space to answer.

📌 Save this post. Screenshot the questions. Send it to your siblings.

If your parents are doing well right now, this may actually be the best time to talk.

Not during a hospital stay.
Not when someone suddenly needs nursing home care.
Not when the family is trying to make decisions in 48 hours.

Ask:
1. Who can step in if you need help?
Have appropriate Powers of Attorney and healthcare documents been created?

2. What do you actually want?
What matters most if health or independence changes?

3. What would we do if you needed long-term care?
Has anyone discussed finances, insurance, Medicaid, or other options?

You don't need to solve the next 20 years over dinner.
You just need to know whether a plan exists.

📌 Save this for your next family conversation.

Here's an idea that has absolutely nothing to do with legal documents—and everything to do with legacy.

The next time you're with your parents or grandparents, record them answering a few questions:
🎙️ How did you meet?
🎙️ What were your parents like?
🎙️ What's something you wish you'd known at 30?
🎙️ What was the happiest season of your life?
🎙️ What family tradition do you hope we continue?
🎙️ What's something about our family you never want forgotten?

Someday, hearing their voice tell those stories may mean more than almost anything they leave behind.

Estate planning helps preserve assets.
But don't forget to preserve the person, too.

📌 Save these questions for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or your next Sunday dinner.

And send this to someone who needs to interview Grandma while they still can. 💙

No appointment. No paperwork marathon.

Just give yourself 15 minutes tonight.

Without looking anything up, answer:
Who have I named to handle financial matters if necessary?
Who have I named for healthcare decisions?
Who would administer my estate or trust?
Who is currently listed as beneficiary on my retirement accounts and life insurance?
Where are my original estate-planning documents?
When did an attorney last review my plan?

If you answered all six confidently, great. 👏

If your answers included...
“I think...”
“Probably...”
or
“That's a really good question...”..you just found something worth checking.

📌 Save this and do your 15-minute audit tonight.

Estate Planning Awareness Week is a timely reminder that protecting your legacy requires more than a basic will, especially for high-net-worth individuals and families.

Swipe through for a few important estate planning considerations for high-net-worth individuals to keep in mind.

Thoughtful planning today can help create greater clarity and confidence tomorrow. Contact us to discuss your estate planning needs.

Being chosen to act under someone's Power of Attorney can feel like an honor.

It can also be a significant responsibility.

Depending on the document and circumstances, an agent may need to handle financial transactions, communicate with institutions, maintain records, manage property, or make other important decisions on someone else's behalf.

Before agreeing, understand what's being asked of you.
And if you've named someone in your Power of Attorney?

Here's a question people forget to ask:
Have you actually told them?

Your future agent probably shouldn't discover the job exists when someone hands them a document during an emergency. 😅

📌 Save this checklist or send it to someone who has agreed to serve.

Personal belongings are different.

Imagine three children agree completely about the house, investments, and savings.

Then two of them want:
Grandma's wedding ring.
Dad's watch.
The family Bible.
Mom's Christmas decorations.
An old painting worth almost nothing.

Sometimes the items carrying the smallest price tags carry the biggest emotions.

If you own sentimental items that you know matter to particular people, don't assume your family will automatically know what you wanted.

Ask your attorney how personal property should be addressed as part of your estate plan.
And just as importantly—talk to your family.

💬 What's the one family item you'd choose over everything else?
