Estate planning does not have to feel intimidating or impersonal. This practical class introduces generational planning, a way to pass on more than money — your wishes, values, and stories — so the next generation has clarity and direction.

You’ll leave with a simple, six‑step process and a clear next step you can take right away. You do not need to be wealthy to benefit — clarity matters most. Whether you are 45 or 75, this framework helps align paperwork, people, and purpose.
