A couple came to one of our workshops. He took careful notes. She asked the good questions. On the way out, they said they would call to get their plan updated.
They meant it. At home, the notes went on the kitchen counter and a date got circled on the calendar. Then life got busy, the way it always does. The circled date passed, and the notes moved to a drawer.
Eight months later, the phone rang at our office. It was not the couple. It was their daughter.
Nothing about them was careless. They were thoughtful people who loved their family. They simply ran out of the one thing none of us can make more of.
Their story is not rare, and it is not meant to scare you. The fix is almost always simple while there is still time. Doing nothing feels safe, but it is a decision. It is the one decision that hands the outcome to the state and the courts.
If your plan has been on your someday list, let this be your nudge. Schedule some time now to talk to us about it.
