Most people leave behind photos, heirlooms, or stories.

Mark Gruenwald left behind comic books. Literally. 🎨📚

The longtime Marvel editor requested that his ashes be mixed into the ink used to print comics after his death, and his family made it happen.

Honestly? That’s kind of iconic. 😅

It’s also a reminder that estate planning can be deeply personal. Your wishes don’t have to look like everyone else’s.

Sometimes the most meaningful part of a plan has nothing to do with money and everything to do with who you were.

One of the hardest parts of planning for your children is finding the balance between helping them and protecting them.

Most parents want to leave something behind for their kids.

The question is how. 🤔

Do they receive everything at once? Over time? With structure in place?

Good estate planning isn’t about controlling your children forever. It’s about giving them support, protection, and opportunity, without removing the chance for them to grow on their own.

Elton John basically said, “I love my kids… but I’m not handing them a free ride.” 🎹

And honestly? A lot of parents feel the same way.

You want your kids to be okay.

You just don’t want them to be too okay 😅

That’s where estate planning gets interesting.

It’s not just about leaving money. It’s about deciding how it shows up in their lives.

All at once? Over time? With some structure?

Because there’s a big difference between helping your kids… and accidentally making life a little too easy.

Probate isn’t always the problem… But the mistakes around it can be. 😬

Here are 4 we see all the time:

✍🏼 Not having a will AT ALL
This leaves everything up to state law, not your wishes.

📤 Assuming everything will “just transfer”
Not all assets avoid probate, and many people are surprised by what actually ends up there.

👤 Outdated or missing beneficiary designations
Old accounts can send money to the wrong person or create unnecessary complications.

⚖️ Letting everything go through probate unnecessarily
With the right planning, many assets can pass more efficiently and privately.

These small oversights can turn into delays, added costs, and stress for your family.

A little planning now can make the process much smoother later. 🙌🏼

You can’t change the financial decisions of the past.

But what you do today can shape generations to come. 🤔

Generational wealth isn’t just about building assets. 💰

It’s about protecting them, structuring them, and making sure they actually last.

Without a plan, wealth can fade within a generation. With the right planning, it can support your family for years to come. 🙌🏼

Because generational wealth doesn’t happen by accident. It’s created by the decisions you make today. ✨

A will is important. ✅

But on its own, it’s usually not enough. 😅

A will still goes through probate, doesn’t help if you become incapacitated, and doesn’t control everything you own.

REAL estate planning looks at the full picture, your assets, your healthcare decisions, and how to make things easier for your family when it matters most. 🏡

A will is a piece of the plan. Just not the whole plan.
