National Estate Planning Week
National Estate Planning Awareness Week was adopted in 2008 to help the public understand what estate planning is and why it is so vital to emergency situations and financial success. In 2008 it was estimated that over 120,000 Americans did not have up-to-date estate plans to protect themselves or their families in the event of sickness, accident, or ultimately death (H. R. 1499.)
Did you know that ever-changing laws can affect the rules for your investment beneficiary designations? This could mean that your planned distributions to your families might not happen how you intended.
Do you have any property that doesn’t allow for beneficiary designations? You might want to consider having a Will or Trust.
Do you have children who are over the age of 18? You may have trouble accessing their medical information in case of an emergency.
How To Get Help: The truth is that the importance of estate planning cannot be condensed to one week, and that’s why at The Estate Plan we offer complimentary Vision Meetings all year round. We want to know what your vision is, no matter how big or small.
