The Basics Of Estate Planning: By Steve Bliss

TRANSCRIPT VIDEO HERE

Death is a tough topic, and it may seem less than relevant to younger folks, but the reality is that we’ll never know just when this information could come in handy.

Of course, the most crucial part of the estate planning process requires no paperwork or expense: discussing your relatives’ wishes.

Nothing will make that conversation easy, but a clear understanding of your family’s wishes can help avoid tough conversations when loved ones should be relying on each other to get through a difficult time–not fighting each other over the family heirlooms.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Each of our clients is incredibly important to us. We believe that every successful relationship is based on trust, integrity and exceeding expectations. And that’s the benchmark we always strive for.
