As we mourn the loss of Luke Perry, we remember why it is so important to have an estate plan put in place. He protected his family by making his estate plan ba...ck in 2015 and spared the burden for his children of having to take on the responsibility on top of the death of their father. Take the time to create a plan so your loved ones are spared. See more

Everyone needs to determine how their assets will be distributed upon their death, do not leave it to the Court or your State to make that determination. Protect your family and your wishes.

Even with only a few days left in 2018, it is not too late to review your estate planning wishes and documents. https://www.wealthmanagement.com//eight-simple-es/gallery

Sad, I see this fighting all too often. Protect your wishes, and your family, through planning and documentation.

Congratulations! The 2019 ACA (Affordable Care Act) enrollment period has been shortened from 90 days to 45 days (November 1-December 15, 2018) and the advertising budget to promote open enrollment has been slashed in an effort to sabotage the program. You're probably not seeing a lot of advertising (read: zero) about the enrollment window online or on TV. We are posting this and using the word congratulations so it gets posted more frequently in Newsfeed by FB algorithms. Please *copy and paste* (don't share, and post publicly!) on your own timeline to help spread the word. Also, comment on the posts you see to bump them up in feeds.

The time to do planning is not when you are dying, but preferably when you are able to take the time and think through and understand all the important decisions that must be made; however when someone is very ill, it is critical that they get some planning in place. If you already have your own plan in place, encourage your friends and family to do the same!
