Beyond Inheritance: Intentional and Holistic Estate Planning

Does your estate plan reflect your actual values, or is it an amalgam of what you think an estate plan "should" be? When you're following someone else's blueprint (whether it's your neighbor's, your parents', or society's), you risk building a plan that looks right on paper, but doesn't reflect what matters to you. In this episode, SK Wealth Partner Mac Richards and Client Relationship Manager Andrew Cayer introduce the concept of intentional estate planning. You'll learn what it is and come away asking yourself the question that really matters: "Am I building a plan that reflects my values, or one I inherited unknowingly?"
