Is estate planning right for you?

First and foremost, estate planning is important for everyone, not just “the wealthy.” And while estate planning can be uncomfortable to think about, it’s an important part of planning for your financial future. The unfortunate truth is, most people get sick or become incapacitated as they get older. In the event this occurs, will you have a plan for navigating these challenging times with your loved ones? Who will be empowered to make decisions for you and manage the financials for those you are leaving behind? Will your assets be protected? Though these thoughts bring some discomfort today, they’re the last things your loved ones should have to stress over during the most painful times in the hopefully distant future.
