In this week’s episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, breaks down the critical topic of estate planning and why having a will is essential for protecting your legacy. Many people put off drafting a will, assuming they have time or that their estate isn’t complex enough to require one - but history shows that failing to plan can create unnecessary legal battles, tax burdens, and family disputes.

Key highlights of the episode include:

• The real-life consequences of not having a will, featuring case studies on Prince, Abraham Lincoln, Pablo Picasso, and Sonny Bono. • How probate works and why it can take years to settle an estate without a clear legal plan. • The impact of estate taxes and why high-net-worth individuals could lose up to 50% of their wealth without proper planning. • The roles of trustees, guardians, and corporate trustees in managing your estate effectively. • Practical steps to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Your will isn’t just a legal document, it’s a conversation about the future of your wealth and your family’s well-being. Don’t leave it to chance. For additional insights and to learn how PAX Financial Group can help guide your estate planning journey, visit www.PAXFinancialGroup.com.
