Embracing the Spirit of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to reflect on what truly matters: gratitude, family, and giving back. While many of us express our thanks through festive meals and thoughtful gifts, have you considered how estate planning can be a deeply meaningful way to show appreciation to those you care about?

A Legacy of Love and Gratitude

Estate planning is more than just a legal task—it's an act of love and a legacy for your loved ones. From my experience as an estate planning lawyer, I've witnessed how a strong, up-to-date estate plan provides peace and comfort to family members. Yet, as of 2025, only 24% of U.S. adults have taken this step. Among adults aged 18-34, just 24% have created a will.

The Perfect Time to Plan

As you gather with family and reflect on what's important, now is a great time to start or revisit your estate plan. This thoughtful gesture is one of the most meaningful ways to show care and gratitude to your loved ones.

Practical Steps to Begin Estate Planning

To get started, consider taking stock of your current documents. Ask yourself who you trust to make decisions on your behalf, and be sure to communicate your intentions clearly with your family.

A Gift of Clarity and Foresight

Remember, estate planning doesn't need to be intimidating—it's a gift of clarity, love, and foresight. And what better time to give this gift than during the holiday season? Reaching out is the first step in this meaningful process. Take advantage of this season of giving by replying to this message. It’s an easy first step toward securing your legacy and showing gratitude to those you hold dear.
