One of the biggest misconceptions about estate planning is that it’s only about money.

In this video, I talk about a few important ways estate planning can help protect your children, including naming a trusted guardian, helping avoid unnecessary court involvement, and creating a plan for how assets are managed on behalf of minors.

If you have children or help care for children in your family, this is an important conversation to have sooner rather than later.

Thinking about creating a trust, but not sure what actually belongs in it?

Most people immediately think about money and bank accounts, but trusts can also hold certain non-financial assets.

In this week's video, I break down:
• Real estate and out-of-state property
• Family land and inherited property
• Jewelry, art, and collectibles
• Mineral rights and other overlooked assets
• What should typically stay OUT of a trust

If your family has property that’s been passed down for generations, especially across state lines, this is a conversation worth having now instead of leaving loved ones to figure it out later.

Let me know what questions you have about the estate planning process.

In this video, I share a real-life situation that highlights why updating your estate plan after major life events is so important.

A husband remarried after divorce but never updated his estate plan or beneficiary designations. When he unexpectedly passed away, his new spouse received nothing.

Marriage, divorce, separation, and remarriage all create immediate changes that should be reflected in your estate plan. If updates are not made, your assets and decision-makers may not align with your current wishes.

In this video, I cover:

• Why marital status changes require immediate updates

• The importance of reviewing beneficiaries and decision makers

• What can happen if changes are not made

If you've experienced a major life change, now is the time to review your estate plan.
