Estate planning isn’t a luxury , it’s a Black wealth strategy.

For generations, Black families have worked tirelessly to build wealth, often starting from scratch. Yet studies consistently show that much of this wealth disappears within one generation. The reason isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of protection. 

Estate planning is one of the most powerful tools for preserving Black wealth. Without a will or trust, assets are left to the court system through probate, a process that is costly, slow, and emotionally draining. During probate, homes can be sold, businesses can stall, and families can be divided. 

Historically, systemic barriers limited access to financial education and legal planning in the Black community. As a result, estate planning was often viewed as something only wealthy families needed. That belief has cost generations dearly. 

Estate planning ensures that: 

• Your assets go to the people you choose 

• Your children are protected 

• Your wealth stays within your family 

Building wealth is only half the work. Protecting it is how legacies are created. 

Building wealth is intentional; protecting it must be too. An estate plan ensures your hard work benefits your family, not the court system. If you’re ready to take control of your legacy and put real protection in place, let’s talk.
