Reasons people delay making a plan:

When talking to folks about estate planning, I often hear from young parents that it’s on their to-do list but they plan to wait until they’re done having kids to get things in order. I believe this is a mistake. It’s easy to include kids born in the future in your estate plan right now by including language protecting afterborn heirs. It’s easy to add their names later on and there’s no reason to leave your family vulnerable in the meantime!

I had a great time last week presenting at Thornapple MomCo on the basics of estate planning. It can be so difficult when you’re deep in the trenches of motherhood with littles to see beyond just getting through the day, but it’s especially important to have a plan in place if you have minor kids! I love helping young families achieve peace of mind. Don’t delay! Thanks for having me, MomCo!

Estate planning is also incapacity planning! Unfortunately, there’s a high probability that you will experience a period of incapacity at some point in your lifetime. Having a plan in place ensures that you’ve chosen people you trust to make decisions for your health and your finances in a way that respects your wishes.

Who knew?! In 2008, the US House of Representatives designated the third full week of October as National Estate Planning Awareness Week! It’s estimated that between 60-70% of adults in the US do not have an estate plan of any kind. The rest of this week I’ll share some common misconceptions about estate planning, but sneak peek: estate planning is for everyone!!
