Five Big Estate Planning Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

A big family and their dog sit around their living room smiling and laughing.

It's 2024, and you may finally be making time to create or revisit your estate plan. If so, I commend you — because planning your estate is a compassionate goal that falls victim to procrastination for most people.

Making sure you carve out time is a selfless act of care for your loved ones, including your furry friends. It’s also an opportunity to make sure the difference you make in the world for the causes closest to you continues far into the future after you yourself have departed the world. When planned properly, the decisions recorded in your estate plan can uphold your priorities and your values while setting your loved ones up for success that helps carry forward your legacy.
