In medicine, there is cure and care; in finance, there is worth and value. In estate planning, there is wealth and meaning.

This meaning is the foundation for estate planning.

As morning dawned on December 5, 1941, a fisherman cast his net along O‘ahu’s north shore. A college student helped his father open a new business. A volunteer took kids to the beach in Waimānalo.

Roosevelt would announce to the nation the next day that, early on Sunday morning, “the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”
