You’ve worked hard to establish a legacy you can be proud of, one that your family can continue to build upon for years to come. And as you know, a comprehensive estate plan is an essential piece of your financial puzzle. However, estate planning can sometimes feel overwhelming, with attorneys, wills, trusts, and other complicated legal hurdles. It doesn’t have to be complicated, though.

Typically, those leaving an inheritance want to make sure their heirs use the funds responsibly, which takes some advanced planning. But estate planning is more than just who gets what.
