Estate Planning: Life Is Like a Jigsaw Puzzle
As an estate planning attorney, I have often thought that estate plans are like a puzzle. In order to have a comprehensive estate plan, you need to have all the puzzle pieces that relate to your life goals, and they need a proper fit. Once completed, you can see the whole picture — a well-protected legacy at any stage of life.
On Sunday at church, Father Daniel Gatti shared his thoughts reflecting on a 1,000-piece puzzle and discovered “10 Reasons Why Life Is Like a Large Jigsaw Puzzle.”
These are the 10 reasons:
- It’s a challenge; a task to be completed
- It can be tedious; there will be trial and error
- You have to try and try again, remaining hopeful
- You should never give up
- It requires attention to the big picture AND to small details
- There IS a solution
- It’s important to recognize patterns and connections
- Patience and perseverance are required
- Assistance is welcomed and appreciated
- Completion brings great joy and satisfaction
Estate Planning has a Puzzle for Every Life Circumstance
Father Gatti suggests that you take on a large jigsaw puzzle and learn about life … And I suggest getting your house in order by gathering the pieces of your estate planning puzzle.
Here are some critical pieces of the puzzle to consider:
- Durable Power of Attorney
- Health Care Proxy
- Living Will
- Last Will and Testament
- Revocable Living Trusts
- Long Term Care Plan
- ILITs for Insurance
- Retirement Plan
- Family Protection Trusts
- Estate Tax Plan
