Advisors with Purpose Webinar: Estate Planning – Giving You Peace of Mind

When it comes to all the to-dos in our life, getting our things in order and creating a Will tends to be one of the things we put off until another day. There are many reasons why we procrastinate, but we are often worried about some difficult decisions to make, and we aren't sure where to go for help.

When asked, people stated “Peace of Mind” as the first benefit of completing their Will and Estate Plan. The satisfaction of knowing that a plan is in place, your Will is well designed, you have taken care of your loved ones, the hard decisions are made, and your Will reflects your goals and values can put your heart and mind at ease.

We invite you to join our partners at Advisors with Purpose for this FREE webinar that will discuss several situations and topics of concern to many people and how you can plan well for them.
