Are you avoiding Estate Planning?

Estate Planning is a topic people, just like you, don’t like talking about and don’t make a priority. So what is it about Estate Planning that has people avoiding it like the plague?

Well let’s take a look…..

Estate planning’s primary focus is on death and taxes, and those are topics people aren’t dying to talk about…oh, come on, you know that was funny. The majority of people go through life ignoring the topics of death and taxes as if by doing so they can avoid both. No one has yet to say it better than Benjamin Franklin: “In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.”

The few people taking the time to look into Estate planning are finding nothing but contradicting and bad advice from so-called “Estate Planning experts”. Financial Advisors are always able to find ways to spend your money; Attorneys make more money representing you in lawsuits, divorces, and probate court than helping you implement solid Estate Planning. Out of all the experts Accountants usually avoid the topic, as their advice is about the amount of money you’re going to give to greedy politicians, in the way of estate taxes. God Bless Accountants!

At NexStep Innovations we don’t do regular Estate Planning; our reasoning is really quite simple. We don’t like talking about death or taxes either. Talking about spending a quarter of your wealth implementing boring old cookie-cutter plans, losing three quarters of your money to greedy politicians who want to gift it to their beneficiaries and not yours, and the grand finale DEATH, isn’t really the most exciting or motivating conversation. Makes you want to go pick out coffins, doesn’t it?
