Introduction

An estate plan is not about death — it's about love expressed with paperwork. It protects the people you leave behind from confusion, conflict, and unnecessary loss.

Section One

Where Am I Today?

Begin by telling the truth about where you actually stand. Honesty is the foundation of any real change.

Reflection Questions

  • If someone opened a folder with my name on it tomorrow, would it tell my story clearly?
  • What is working — and what is quietly not working?
  • If a trusted friend looked at this area of my life, what would they say?

Current Challenges

Name the friction you feel most days.

Current Strengths

Name what is quietly working, however small.

Personal Assessment

Rate 1–10: Clarity · Consistency · Confidence · Energy · Support.

Section Two

Vision

Before the plan, the picture. Let yourself imagine what 'well' could look like.

Vision Prompts

  • What does success look like in this area?
  • What do I want my future to become?
  • What matters most — and what am I willing to release to protect it?

"Legacy is written in the choices you make today. A clear estate plan is one of the most loving things you can leave behind."
