Create An Estate Plan: Gift Yourself Something That Benefits Your Entire Family

When you think of your Christmas gifts, “create an estate plan” probably isn’t at the top of your list. But it should be!

What’s at the top of your dream gift list this year? For some, the older we get the less frivolous the items we tend to desire. Maybe deciding to create an estate plan is the thing that held the number one place on your 2022 list of resolutions or that never-ending “to-do” list. That important thing that somehow managed to go undone.

So many people have the best of intentions and then life gets in the way and those terribly “important” items evaporate from our memory. Until the next list is made!

Why create an estate plan?

Invariably, when I’m at social functions and am asked what I do, the typical response when I respond is something to the effect of “Oh, I’ve always wanted to create an estate plan!”

A well-thought-out estate plan is the item that often holds the number one position on more New Year’s Resolution lists than you can imagine. So, if you haven’t managed to create an estate plan yet, take some comfort in knowing you’re not alone !
