August is National Make-A-Will Month.
You'll hear a lot this month about wills, trusts, probate, and legal documents.
I'd like to talk about something a little different.
Love is a feeling.
Estate planning is one way we put that love into action.
Every will, every power of attorney, every advance directive begins with the same question:
Who do I care about, and how can I make things a little easier for them?
Throughout August, I'll be sharing practical guidance, answering common questions, and talking about planning in a way that's grounded, compassionate, and free of legal jargon.
Whether you're just starting to think about estate planning or you've been putting it off for years, I hope you'll follow along.
