We wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your hard work. Did you know the first Labor Day was celebrated in 1882?

We want to ensure that all of your hard work is protected. Reach out to us to ensure everything you do is protected for the future of your loved ones.

Learn more about SLAT in this article from Fidelity.com. "With changes to the tax laws only a few years away, estate planning may feel particularly time-sensitive now. "If you're not ready to fund a SLAT or other gifting structure, one option is to draft the legal documents with the attorney, but delay on funding," suggests Klein. That way the trust is ready to receive assets should you choose to go ahead. "If the laws stay as they are, I expect it will be difficult to go into the attorney's office in late 2025, trying to get help creating a SLAT, right before the estate tax exclusion sunsets," Klein explains."

Did you know today is International Cat Day? Did you also know that your pets can be included in your estate plan?

No, you cannot name your beloved furball as a beneficiary, but you can ensure your pet is cared for by someone you trust and write in your plan that money is meant to be spent on your pet.

So don't forget about your precious cats when making your plan with us!

For many people friends are family. The bonds and relationships that are forged through friendships are both beautiful and unique.

It is SO IMPORTANT to ensure your "family" is included in your estate planning process. To guarantee that your best friend can make medical decisions on your behalf and be present at your bedside, it's essential to have the proper documentation in place. And if you want that best friend to receive your assets upon your death, it needs to be documented.

Give your friends a hug or phone call today!

A Healthcare Directive does two very important things:
1. It allows you to choose a medical decision-maker. This person can make healthcare decisions
for you when you are unable to.
2. It allows you to make your own health care choices and choose the kind of care you want. You are able to specify your wishes for end-of-life healthcare. When this is completed, it tells your loved ones what you want so they don't have to guess what care you would or would not like.

A Healthcare Directive gives you a voice when you no longer have one.

Part of our estate planning process includes completing a Healthcare Directive because we know this is an important part of your plan.
