People frequently see estate planning as one of those things that they know they need to do * not something they look forward to doing. But where others see paperwork, I see possibilities. I encourage my clients to look at estate planning as a real opportunity. One can adopt this as a component of daily life, and build a little bit on top of it all the time. Consequently, my time horizon for what I * m looking to help clients do is quite different. Estate planning is not just about wills and trusts. It * s also not focused on creating or avoiding a windfall for beneficiaries, but on preparation and stewardship. As we work together to build and strengthen your legacy, we * ll work on developing a solid, self-sustaining structure for your children - and perhaps their children too * that preserves your goals. In the bigger picture and at its best, estate planning involves bringing your family closer together even in the face of the most challenging transitions in life.
