Somehow, “estate planning” got a reputation for being something only wealthy people with yachts need.

The truth? Christie doesn’t spend her days planning for “the yacht guy.” She spends them helping families like her own protect the people they love.

If you have someone you care about, you’re exactly who planning is for.

“What happens to the kids if we’re both gone at the same time?”

Not someday.
Not separately.
An accident. The unthinkable.

Who steps in immediately should never be left to assumption.

Parents - if you don't have written instructions for the "what ifs", let's chat. 🔗 in bio!

“I’ll just add my kids to the deed.”
Sounds simple. It’s not.

The moment you do that, they own part of your home now - not later.

That means their financial issues, divorce, or liabilities can impact your house while you’re still living in it.

What feels like an easy probate workaround can create way bigger problems.

There are better ways to pass your home without giving up control.

Sound familiar? It's probably time to talk about it.

"We’ll get to it later.” 🤨

That’s what everyone says.
Until later becomes someone else’s burden.

We’re not avoiding planning because we don’t care. We’re avoiding it because life feels nonstop.

Sound familiar? It's probably time to talk about it.

We are all about approachable, real life planning! 🔗 in bio

If this sounds familiar, it might be time for us to chat.
