Your LEGACY is
more than Assets

A legacy is not simply what you leave behind. It is the values, wisdom, protection, and opportunities you pass on to future generations.

Without proper planning, families often face unnecessary court proceedings, delays, expenses, and uncertainty during life's most difficult moments.

LEGACY LYFE Plan helps families create clarity, confidence, and peace of mind through intentional planning.

Do I Need a Will or a Trust?

One of the most common questions families ask is whether they need a Will or a Trust. The answer depends on your goals, assets, family situation, and how much control you want over the transfer of your estate.

A Last Will and Testament allows you to document your wishes, name guardians for minor children, and direct how your assets should be distributed. However, a Will generally goes through probate, which is a court-supervised process that can take time and create additional expenses for loved ones.

A Revocable Living Trust, on the other hand, can help avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide a more efficient transfer of assets. Trusts can also offer additional flexibility for blended families, business owners, real estate investors, and those who wish to provide ongoing guidance for beneficiaries.

The good news is that estate planning is not an either-or decision. Many comprehensive estate plans include both a Trust and a Will, along with other important documents that work together to protect your family.

The most important step is not choosing a document—it's creating a plan.
At LEGACY LYFE Plan, we help families understand their options and determine the planning strategy that best fits their goals.

Because protecting your legacy starts with understanding your choices.

What Happens If You Don't Have an Estate Plan?

Many people assume estate planning is only for the wealthy or that they have plenty of time to think about it later.

Unfortunately, life doesn't always give us the opportunity to plan tomorrow.

Without an estate plan, important decisions about your assets, healthcare, finances, and even your children may be left to the courts or determined by state law.

This can lead to:
• Probate delays
• Additional legal expenses
• Family disagreements
• Uncertainty during difficult times
• Outcomes that may not reflect your wishes

For parents, the consequences can be even greater. Without proper planning, a court may ultimately decide who will care for your minor children if something happens to both parents.

Estate planning is not about preparing for death.

It's about creating clarity, protection, and peace of mind for the people you love.

A thoughtfully prepared estate plan helps ensure that your wishes are known, your family is protected, and your legacy continues according to your intentions.

The greatest gift you can leave your loved ones is not simply an inheritance—it's certainty.

The Five Essential Documents Every Adult Should Have

Estate planning is often associated with Wills and Trusts, but a complete plan involves much more than a single document.

Every adult should consider having the following foundational documents in place:

1. Revocable Living Trust
A Trust can help avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide clear instructions regarding the management and distribution of assets.

2. Last Will and Testament
A Will documents your wishes and can identify guardians for minor children. It serves as an important component of a comprehensive estate plan.

3. Durable Power of Attorney
This document allows someone you trust to handle financial and legal matters on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself.

4. Advance Healthcare Directive
An Advance Healthcare Directive communicates your medical preferences and appoints someone to make healthcare decisions if you cannot speak for yourself.

5. HIPAA Authorization
This document allows designated individuals access to important medical information when needed.

Together, these documents help protect your family, reduce uncertainty, and provide guidance during life's most challenging moments.

Estate planning is not about preparing for the worst.

It is about protecting what matters most.

A complete estate plan gives you confidence today while helping safeguard the people you love tomorrow.

Protect the people you love and preserve what matters most with personalized estate and legacy planning solutions.
