Rick Randall says that estate planning that works is not the norm, but it does not have to be that way. The goal of estate planning is to dictate how you will transfer the baton of your life’s wealth and wisdom to generations after you. With it, you ensure your legacy will live on, beyond you, rather than dissolving at your death.Estate planning that works gives you the ability to control, preserve and protect the wealth you’ve created when you’re no longer able to.
Love, Money, and Control says it like this:
With proper planning, you can control your financial and personal affairs while you are well and competent and leave instructions for how your affairs should be managed – in essence, still maintaining control – if you become physically or mentally disabled. Love, Money, and Control
With estate planning, you set plans in motion today to take care of the things that are most important to you, like your children, your health, and your money.
It is the most efficient way to transfer wealth with minimal loss and ensure your assets aren’t tied up in probate and chiseled away by taxes.
Where Estate Planning Fits into Your Cashflow Creation System
Encircling your family and assets with a bulletproof estate plan will maximize your peace of mind. But it’s just one small step of a greater journey of building time and money freedom.
That’s why we’ve put together the 3-step Entrepreneur’s Cash Flow System.
