To the Millennials: The Time to Plan Is Now

If you're like most millennials, you're busy building your life—establishing a career, traveling, managing student loans, maybe even buying a home or raising a family. The last thing on your mind might be estate planning. But here’s the truth: estate planning isn’t just for your parents or the ultra-wealthy. It’s for you, right now.

Why Millennials Need to Pay Attention

📌 You have assets—even if you don’t feel “rich.”A 401(k), a checking account, a car, or even digital assets like your crypto wallet or social media—these are all part of your estate. Without a plan, the state decides who gets what.

📌 You’re not invincible.Unexpected things happen—illnesses, accidents, and emergencies. If you’re unable to make decisions for yourself, who steps in? Without a power of attorney or healthcare directive, no one has the legal right to help—not even your parents or your partner.

📌 You have people (and pets) who count on you.Whether it’s a significant other, close friend, sibling, or pet—estate planning lets you decide who will be there to care for them if you can’t. It’s a plan of love and responsibility.

📌 Your digital life matters too.What happens to your online accounts, email, photos, and digital finances if you pass away or become incapacitated? Your plan should include instructions and access for trusted contacts.

Make It Easier on the People You Love

Think of estate planning as a kindness—not just to yourself, but to the people who love you. Without a plan, they could be left dealing with court proceedings, unanswered questions, or even family disputes. A well-crafted estate plan provides clarity, direction, and peace of mind.

Even a basic plan can cover the essentials:

• A will to direct where your property goes

• A healthcare directive to make medical choices on your behalf

• A power of attorney to handle finances if you're incapacitated

• Beneficiary designations for your financial accounts

• 
  

And as your life changes—when you get married, buy a home, have kids, or grow your wealth—your plan can grow with you.
