Give Thanks by Planning Your Estate

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's a perfect time to reflect on the things we're grateful for—our family, friends, and the love we share. This holiday season, consider expressing your gratitude in a meaningful way by planning your estate with the trusted team at Castagna Law Firm. While sharing meals and gifts is wonderful, an estate plan ensures your loved ones are taken care of in the future. It's an act of love and legacy that speaks volumes.

 

Did you know that as of 2025, only 24% of U.S. adults have a will? Among younger adults aged 18-34, that number is even lower. As an estate planning lawyer with 50 years of Florida Bar experience, I've witnessed firsthand the peace and comfort a well-prepared estate plan brings to families. It's one of the most profound ways to show care and gratitude to those you love.

Now is a great time to start or revisit your estate plan. Here are some practical tips to help you get started:

• Take stock of your current documents and ensure they are up-to-date.
• Consider who you trust to make important decisions on your behalf.
• Communicate your intentions clearly with your family.

Remember, estate planning doesn't have to be intimidating. It's a gift of clarity, love, and foresight.
