Click hereSummer is almost over, and August is nationally recognized as Make a Will Month. Although discussing wills may feel uncomfortable or seem far-off, it presents an important opportunity to reflect on our lives, our values, and the legacy we wish to leave behind.
Crafting a will is more than just designating asset distribution; it’s a great first step in considering the legacy we want to leave the world and our loved ones. A well-thought-out will can provide guidance for those left behind. Whether providing the future of family members, supporting cherished causes, or ensuring our assets are distributed according to our wishes, a will is a lasting statement of our intentions and legacy.
If you haven’t made a will yet, if your existing will needs revising, or if it’s been several years since you created your last one, August is an ideal time to do so. Why August? It’s just over the half-year point and far enough away from the holiday season that you have time to really sit down and review your estate strategy. We’re happy to help.
Remember, creating a will isn’t about focusing on the end; it’s about acknowledging the life you’ve led and your wishes are carried out as you intend. It’s about outlining your goals not only for yourself but also for those you care about. It’s your chance to leave a legacy that can be carried forward after you’re gone.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need support during this process. We’re here to help you navigate this task with care and sensitivity.
Use this opportunity to consider your legacy and how you want to shape it. After all, our lives are a testament to the stories we write, the love we share, and the difference we make.
