October 2022 Deluxe Edition
National Estate Planning Awareness Month
|
|
Greetings!
October is National Estate Planning Awareness Month. Estate planning is something people often put on the back burner as "something to do in the future when I am older". The problem with that mindset is we never know what the future holds; there are no guarantees for tomorrow. Benjamin Franklin said, "You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again" and this poignant statement couldn't be more true for estate planning. We are thrilled to have been seeing a trend showing that this mindset is changing with younger clients in their 40s and even 30's looking ahead into their future.
Estate planning is thought of in the financial sense however a factor often overlooked is if you have children, or even elderly parents, who have disabilities or special needs. Plans need to be in place to protect those who have no voice and this couldn't be more true for children. No parent wants to think "what would happen to my children if something happens to me" however, parents of children with disabilities often feel that "they can't die" because who will take care of their children when they are gone with all their complex needs? Documents need to be in place to ensure that everyone in the family is aware of who is responsible for these children and what that exactly entails.
We ask for your help in our mission to educate the public about the importance of estate planning by sharing this email with your family and friends!

Does Your Estate Plan Include Your Pets?
Pets usually have shorter life spans than humans, but people don't always include their pets in their estate plans. If a pet owner doesn't make plans for his or her pet, the animal can be left homeless and end up in an animal shelter.
