You have worked hard your entire life to build something of value. This might be a comfortable nest egg, a family home, or a thriving business. You naturally want this legacy to support your loved ones after you are gone. Yet, a few critical oversights can undo a lifetime of careful saving. Many people fall into common but devastating financial traps that erase your legacy. These mistakes can leave their heirs with confusion, conflict, and much less than you intended. Avoiding these pitfalls is as important as building the wealth itself.
