‘Someday’ Is Not a Plan, It’s a Risk!

Why Late Summer Is the Perfect Time to Start

Picture this: you’re sitting in the shade, iced tea in hand, no frantic holiday rush, no tax deadlines breathing down your neck. The slower pace of late summer gives you something rare: mental space. It’s the perfect window to think about the big picture without feeling pulled in a hundred different directions.

And while organizing your estate plan might not sound as exciting as a beach trip, it’s one of those grown-up wins that future-you will seriously thank you for.

Starting now means you can:

1. Decide who will make decisions for you if you can’t
We’re talking about healthcare directives and power of attorney. It’s not the most cheerful topic, but having it in place spares your loved ones from making impossible choices without guidance.

2. Choose guardians for minor children
If you have kids, this might be the most important decision you’ll ever make. Don’t leave it up to chance or a court’s decision. You get to choose who will care for them.

3. Make sure your assets go where you want them to
Without a plan, the state decides. And let’s be real, the state doesn’t know (or care) who you promised Mama’s necklace to. A clear will ensures there’s no confusion, and no messy family feuds.

4. Organize your important documents
From insurance policies to passwords, having things in one secure place is a gift to your loved ones. They won’t have to play “find the file” at a time when they should be focused on each other.
