Lawyers. Wills. Trusts. Estates. Probate. It can all be overwhelming, and that’s why I created the Atlanta Legacy Project.
I wanted to offer a new, affordable approach to legacy planning process to empower you with the knowledge you need to turn your vision into reality.
Whether you already have a will or trust or are just getting started, my goal is to provide you with the insights and perspective you need to create a lasting legacy for your family.
Join me for one of my workshops to learn why you don’t have to wait for a lawyer to start protecting your assets; the common planning mistakes people make and how to avoid them; how property taxes can impact your legacy; and much more.
Once we are done, you will be ready to begin working on your estate plan with the attorney of your choice, or if you already have a will or trust, you will have a better understanding of how everything fits together.
There’s a lot to discuss, and the first step is free.
Let’s get started.
