Recently, I had the privilege of helping Pastor Thomas (name changed), a dedicated KBC pastor, finalize his estate plan. Days later, I had a touching encounter with his son. With gratitude, he thanked me for guiding his father through the complexities of estate planning. This conversation had spurred a sense of urgency within the family about their own estate planning needs. In that moment, I was reminded that an estate plan isn’t just about wealth—it’s an act of love and responsibility that safeguards our families from future uncertainties.
An Estate Plan: More Than Just Legalities
An estate plan is not merely a collection of legal documents—it’s a love letter to those you leave behind. It’s about ensuring that your hard-earned assets are distributed according to your wishes, providing for your spouse, securing your children’s future, and perhaps, supporting a cause you hold dear.
It’s about leaving clear instructions for your loved ones, saving them from potential legal disputes, and relieving them from making difficult decisions during times of deep grief.
When seen in this light, estate planning becomes one of the most loving gestures you could extend to your family.
