No, Estate Planning Isn’t Just for the Wealthy

Filed under: Clarity. Security. Real life.

We’ve been sold the idea that estate planning is for “later.” For the wealthy. For the ones with vacation homes, stocks, heirs.

But if you have a bank account, a child, a partner, or simply a preference for how your life is handled—you need an estate plan.

Because here’s what no one says out loud:
If you don’t decide, someone else will.

Estate planning isn’t about assets. It’s about access.

It’s about who gets to make decisions when you can’t.
It’s about making sure your loved ones don’t have to guess—or fight.
It’s about control, clarity, and care.

And yes—you can do all of that without a lawyer right away.

Start with these questions:

  • Who do I trust to speak for me in a medical emergency?

  • Where are my important documents stored?

  • Have I listed beneficiaries on my accounts?

  • If something happens to me tomorrow, who knows what to do?

If those questions made your chest tighten a little—good.
That’s not fear. That’s awareness. That’s the beginning of peace.

We put together a starter kit. It’s free.

It won’t replace an attorney, but it will help you walk into their office prepared—with your values, your documents, and your vision intact.
