Know the terms. Plan your legacy with confidence. 📃

Estate planning doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Sometimes, the hardest part is simply knowing what the documents are and what they do.

Here's a quick cheat sheet:

✔️ HIPAA Authorization
✔️ Last Will and Testament
✔️ Revocable Living Trust
✔️ Durable Power of Attorney
✔️ Healthcare Proxy
✔️ Living Will
✔️ Guardianship planning for minor children

Understanding these essentials is the first step toward protecting the people you love and creating the legacy you want to leave.

Throughout National Make-A-Will Month, we'll continue sharing practical tips to help make estate planning a little less intimidating-so you can get started with your team of advisers!
