Legacy planning doesn't have to be stressful. With the right tools and timely strategies, you can stay true to your vision and help your loved ones feel prepared. Here are a few key things to keep in mind: • The amount you can pass on without federal estate or gift tax is $15 million per person—or $30 million for married couples in 2026. These higher limits give families more flexibility and room to plan for the future. • Preparing your wealth transfer priorities today can make a meaningful difference. Name beneficiaries, establish a will and consider trusts. • Gifting can also play a role. Many people give annually to take advantage of the gift tax exclusion—up to $19,000 per person in 2026 without triggering gift tax. A thoughtful approach can help more of what you’ve built reach the people and causes you care about. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hpRIzN

If you’re interested in understanding how today’s economy might play out in your financial life, be sure to watch Thrivent’s recent Market & Economic Update: https://bit.ly/3T9oifd Key takeaways: ☑️ Markets are high, but gains are concentrated and valuations are elevated. ☑️ Today’s headlines can be loud—resist the urge to overreact. ☑️ The key to steady progress is diversification* and a long-term plan. As a financial advisor, my role is to help you evaluate your investments, evolve your strategy and confirm your mix meets your goals. So reach out if you have questions or want help fine-tuning your current financial plan. *While diversification can help reduce market risk, it does not eliminate it.
