We all certainly know of estate planning, but we don’t all love it. The ‘what ifs,’ the decision-making, the fear of mortality, and even strained relationships can be a roadblock. Most of us spend our lives working hard to achieve success and build a family; no matter how big or small, we should want to protect that!
When it comes down to it, estate planning isn’t about how much you have; it’s about what you do with it to ensure that you are protected and cared for in the event of incapacity, but also that your family is protected and cared for after death. In this webinar, Absolute Trust Counsel Attorney Madison Gunn will walk us through the fundamentals of estate planning so you know exactly what you need to build a plan that truly brings peace of mind - so you can stop getting stuck and just get started.
