Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy — it’s for anyone who wants to protect what matters most. This week, I had the opportunity to help out at an incredible Estate Planning Seminar hosted by Thrivent. We packed the room with families and individuals looking to get clarity on what really happens when you don’t have a plan in place. We heard from: - Thomas Vick, an estate attorney out of Greenwood, who broke down the biggest misconceptions around estate planning, the role of health care directives, Medicaid eligibility, and how to avoid common legal pitfalls. - Erland Porter, my Market Director at Thrivent, who brought the financial side to life — covering the tax impact of poor planning, how to leave a legacy with minimal debt, and the importance of strong financial foundations. This event wasn’t about fear or worst-case scenarios — it was about clarity, control, and confidence in your future. If you’ve ever thought estate planning was something to “put off,” this is your sign not to. Let’s talk about what your legacy could look like — and how to make sure it gets there. #EstatePlanning #Thrivent #FinancialPlanning #Legacy See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.
