October is recognized as Estate Planning Awareness Month, emphasizing the crucial function of estate planning in safeguarding your future and shaping your legacy. Keep in mind, an estate plan isn't just a will; it's a comprehensive guide for your future.

Here are some things to think about:
1. If you've already completed your estate plan with us, it might be time for a review. Laws change, as do personal circumstances - marriages, births, deaths. A periodic review ensures your plan still does what you want it to do.

2. If you've included a family member in your plan, it's crucial they are educated on what to do. They should understand their responsibilities and what steps to take when the time comes.

3. If you don't have a plan, NOW is the time to secure your future. Estate planning is a loving and responsible thing to do. It ensures your hard-earned assets go exactly where you want them to go and it spares your loved ones the stress of dealing with these issues during a time of grief.

Don't wait until it's too late. Secure your future and give your loved ones the gift of peace. Contact us today to start or review your estate plan: click HERE or call 618-659-4499. Your future self will thank you!
