Giving Thanks and Protecting Your Legacy
November 18, 2025
What better time to start the conversation about protecting your legacy
November is the season of gratitude, family gatherings, and reflection. As we prepare for Thanksgiving, we often think about what we are thankful for: our loved ones, the home we live in, the traditions we share, and the memories we create.
But Thanksgiving is also a reminder of something deeper. Just as we gather around the table to celebrate the present, we should also take steps to protect the future. Estate planning is about ensuring that the people and things you are most thankful for are cared for when you are no longer able to do so. Having a will, a trust, or powers of attorney in place is not about dwelling on the “what ifs.” It is about giving your family peace of mind, clarity, and stability. Without a plan, your loved ones could face unnecessary stress, disputes, and delays in probate. This holiday season, let your gratitude extend beyond words. Give your family the gift of preparedness. An estate plan is one of the most meaningful ways to show love and thanks—it protects your legacy and gives your loved ones a smoother path forward.
If you have been putting off your will or need to update your plan, now is the perfect time. Just as Thanksgiving reminds us to express gratitude, let it also remind you to prepare for the future. It is one of the best ways to show thanks for the people you love most.
