Legacy

Doing an estate plan can be scary. The subject matter can cause fear because we do not like to think about the end of our lives here on earth. The reality is that we are all going to pass away at some point. Therefore, we need to take necessary steps to prepare for the inevitable and take care of our loved ones at the time of our passing. Failing to do so will lead to unnecessary struggle during a difficult time.

Another reason that putting together an estate plan can be scary is because we do not understand the language or everything that goes into an estate plan. Let this chapter serve as a tutor for what goes into an estate plan. Your next step is to find a trusted advisor who can walk with you step by step so that you can build a plan that meets your needs and honors the One who has saved you. 

We now have a choice. We can either continue to let fear stop us from building an estate plan or we can start taking the steps needed to build one. We do not have to build a complete plan in a day, as this is an unrealistic expectation. But we can start the journey today. Before the day is over, write down a name or two of someone you can call to ask for help. Then, when tomorrow comes, make a call and start the journey.
