All good things must come to an end, or so they say. This is the last article by this author that will appear in this publication. I wish the Generations team and readers all the best in every way.
I hope that over the past 15 years, you have gleaned from this column how important it is to have a clear, comprehensive estate plan—or, as I prefer to write it, “est8plan”. There are so many things that are beyond our control, and our est8plans can help us and our loved ones when inevitable bad things, such as death and disability, happen down the line.
Please know and live the reality that through estate planning, you can create better, if not objectively good, outcomes for yourself and your loved ones as you transition through the stages of life. Your imagination and your collaboration with competent and creative advisors will give rise to an est8plan that will help you sleep at night. You will rest easy in the knowledge that you have done everything you can to put yourself and your loved ones in the best possible position to face the future. “May the road rise to meet you” as you embark on your own estate planning adventure, and remember: an intellectual solves problems… but a genius avoids them. Your est8plan can help you and your ‘ohana avoid the problems that must be solved when people fail to plan.
