Estate Planning -- With A Twist!
So, what's the twist?
The twist is that this site is like no estate planning site you've ever visited. It goes way, way beyond the topics that similar sites deal with.
To be honest, I still have a long way to go, and lots, lots more good stuff to add. So, be sure to bookmark this page so you can come back and check up on my progress often.
You might think "estate planning" sounds stuffy and boring. It may not even sound like anything you'd be interested in.
But, really, estate planning is about everything that's important in your life.
It's about your:
- Family
- Business
- Retirement
- Wills
- Trusts
- Powers of Attorney
- Taxes
- Investments
|
- Insurance
- Employee Benefits
- Real Estate
- Gifts
- Medicaid Planning
- Probate
- Estate Administration
- And, many other topics.

Estate planning is about doing things to maximize resources to improve your life and the lives of those you love. It's about arranging your financial affairs so that you have more money (and time) to share with people and causes you care about. Check out Basics of Estate Planning for more about this.
And, by the way, you probably have a larger estate than you realize. Most people underestimate the total value of their assets -- including their insurance policies, employment and government benefits, and real estate -- that will pass to their heirs.
But, even all that is only half of it. That's the easy part. Planning how to handle your wealth after you've got it--heck, that's easy.
The much harder thing to do is to actually obtain the estate (that is not inherited) in the first place.
How to obtain a solid estate (wealth) is the unique estate planning focus of this site. We talk a lot about that because it's what visitors to this site are really interested in. Achieving financial independence and freedom. It's what I'm passionate about.
It's not about the money. I could care less about money for the sake of money. But, money is a great tool to help us (and our families) live the lives we all want to live. Lives that are full, generous and fulfilling. Time is the most precious resource we each have. And money can buy us time.
If you know what I'm talking about, this site is for you. If not, well, check it out anyway, just to be sure :)
The other thing is -- I'm not selling anything. I love being in that position. It's wonderful to not have to push some product or other on you. This site is funded by advertising revenue. You will never, ever, send me a dime.
And, that allows me to be totally impartial, honest and frank. I enjoy being able to do that and I think it benefits the readers of this site.
I invite you to join in. This site is a community effort between thousands of people interested in improving their financial lives. I am just the facilitator; the guy who gets the ball rolling. At the bottom of many of the pages on this site, there is a place where you can submit your own thoughts and ideas and read comments submitted by other readers.
I hope you'll contribute. The entire Estate Planning Hub community will be richer (maybe in more ways than one) for it.
If you have questions or comments, please contact me any time.
