What is estate planning?
Estate planning isn't just for people with a lot of land or wealth. It's all about making sure that if something happens to you, your family won't be burdened by speculating on what you may have wanted. It gives them the freedom to grieve and the comfort of knowing they're honoring your wishes. Having a plan for your estate — your home, your money, and your possessions — means you can continue to help your family reach goals you set together, even after you're gone.

Your advisor will help you look at your investments, insurance policies, savings, and overall goals so you can create a plan designed to set your family up for financial success in the event of your passing.
