Willing Wisdom Checklist

Protect your financial legacy by creating a powerful estate plan

…even if you’ve put off writing your will or haven’t updated it in years

You have been meaning to write or update your will. But it's not Top 10 on your list of Things To Do.

You want to ensure you have something in writing for your house, stocks and assets.

But finding time to organize your financial affairs can be really difficult.

And it isn't the easiest thing to think about. Not to mention finding time to see a lawyer

...only to be sent home with a long list of MORE things you need to do.


Having a clear, well-communicated estate plan is key.

Especially when it comes to things like:

  • naming a executor
  • knowing if assets are going to beneficiaries or to a charity
  • the difference between a living will and a final will
  • having a power of attorney

And it can be difficult to start talking with family members about end-of-life matters. You don't want any fights.

Or anxious opinions.

It's easier to think, "Maybe I'll just keep things to myself. They can find out when I'm gone. And be surprised when the will is read out loud."

But you've read about families who do that--

they've fallen apart when this approach is taken. Feuding, tears and arguments that sound like they're fighting over who gets the front seat.

And you definitely don't want THAT to happen to your family.

It's a problem we see over and over again when it comes to estate planning.

Which is why we help our clients get their financial affairs in order BEFORE they see a lawyer.

And we do it in a way that opens up conversations. And creates family connection.

Because finalizing an estate plan is about leaving a legacy...not about who gets your stuff.

What others have to say about Willing Wisdom:

SAVING TIME & MONEY

In 10 minutes I knew more about the financial health of our family than ever before. My wife and I received our report almost immediately. We had 5 things that we needed to make decisions around. Two of them we had never even discussed before! Now we know what to get organized BEFORE we meet with a lawyer. That saves us time and money."

WHAT AN EPIPHANY

Wow, I didn't know what I didn't know, until the checklist told me. That's the first time I was taken through such a comprehensive checklist of what I needed to do to complete an estate plan for myself and my family."

FINALLY TAKING THINGS SERIOUSLY!

Talking about estate planning with my mom has always been difficult. She doesn't like to think about dying. She's 72 and hasn't updated her will in 30 years. A lot has changed. I used the Index with mom and I couldn't believe the conversations we ended up having. Plus, the index showed her she needed to get her affairs in order. I didn't have to nag! Her score of 37 made her realize that if she didn't take care of things now, she would be creating a lot of tension for my siblings and me down the road. We plan to do the checklist again in two months. And she's going to try and beat her score."

A ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE

So encouraging. I kind of went into it thinking, "Oh boy. Since my divorce, I bet this means I'll have a low score." But I scored higher than expected - 59! It let me know that things are going to be okay...and that I need to talk to my financial advisor. Pronto!"
