Start organizing your important documents today—so your loved ones don’t have to.

National Estate Planning Awareness Week October 18-24, 2021

Throughout your life, you’ve looked after your family. You’ve never stopped showing them how much they mean to you. So why not prepare for the time when they will need your help the most?

Estate planning is one of the most overlooked areas of personal financial management. It is estimated that more than half of American adults don’t have an estate plan, in part because many believe that this process is intended for the wealthy or retired. Estate planning is for everyone!

If you have an estate plan, it’s recommended that you review it every three to five years—or after a major life event (marriage, birth of a family member, divorce, death of a family member)—to ensure your investments, assets, and philanthropic distributions reflect your wishes.
