Want to Get Planning, But Unsure How?
Protect What You Have Built & Leave a Lasting Legacy
Life & Legacy Planning – A Cut Above Traditional Estate Planning
Unlike a traditional estate plan that prepares for your death, a Life and Legacy plan is a plan for your life. A Life and Legacy plan will allow you to:
​
-
Protect your assets should you become ill or incapacitated
-
Pre-decide medical treatment
-
Determine who will make health care decisions
-
Communicate your wishes to your loved ones
-
Provide for loved ones should you become incapacitated or die
-
Leave a lasting legacy
-
In most cases avoid or reduce probate costs
