Common Misconceptions About Estate Planning

Many people believe that estate planning is only for the wealthy or that it’s something to address later in life. However, everyone can benefit from an estate plan, regardless of age or income. Young families can use estate planning to name guardians for their children, while middle-aged individuals may focus on protecting retirement savings or planning for business succession. Even if you don’t have significant assets, an estate plan can ensure your medical wishes are respected and your family is spared unnecessary stress.

Another misconception is that estate planning is a one-time task. Life changes—such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or a significant financial event—may require updates to your plan. Our attorneys are here to review and revise your estate plan as needed to keep it aligned with your current circumstances.
