💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Nearly 1 in 4 Americans who don't have a Will say they never plan to create one—and more than 40% are waiting until a health crisis forces the conversation.

The problem? Life doesn't always give us a warning.

An Estate Plan isn't just about distributing assets. It's about protecting your family, honoring your wishes, and sparing your loved ones from unnecessary stress, confusion, and costly legal complications during difficult times.

The best time to create an Estate Plan isn't after a crisis—it's before one happens.

If you've already planned, share this with someone you care about who may still be putting it off.

You don't have to be wealthy, retired, or facing health concerns to get started. You simply need a plan.

None of us plans for the unexpected — but we can prepare for it.

This June, we’re focusing on one of the most important parts of estate planning: planning for incapacity.

If you were suddenly unable to make financial or medical decisions, would your loved ones know what to do?

Over the next month, we’ll break down the essential tools that help protect you and your family, including:

✔️ Durable Powers of Attorney
✔️ Health Care Directives & Health Care Proxies
✔️ Living Wills
✔️ Overall Incapacity Planning

The reality is that illness, accidents, and unexpected life events can happen to anyone — at any age. Having the right legal documents in place can help ensure your wishes are honored, trusted loved ones can step in when needed, and unnecessary stress is reduced during difficult times.

A little planning today can make an enormous difference tomorrow.

🎓 The graduation parties may be ending, but one of the most important preparations for your young adult is just beginning.

When your child turns 18, they legally become an adult — which means parents can suddenly lose access to important medical, financial, and educational information.

Before they head off to college or begin their next chapter, make sure they have the right legal documents in place.

A few years ago, Polly wrote an article that’s still just as relevant today: Documents Every High School Graduate Needs Before Leaving for College. It’s a great reminder of why essentials like a HIPAA Authorization and Durable Power of Attorney matter — not just for emergencies, but for peace of mind.

Before sending your young adult into the world, take a few minutes to make sure they’re truly prepared for what’s ahead.

Your 18-year-old is an adult. Unfathomable, yes. True? Also, yes. This is not a matter of debate about whether they are an adult in maturity or brain development, it is true as a matter of law. At 18 they have all the rights that adults have, the right to contract, the right to privacy, etc....
