Did you know that around 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation due to a lack of proper estate planning?

But it’s not just the wealthy who need estate planning! Over half of adults in the US do not have a will in place, which means that state laws dictate what happens to your assets.

Estate planning is for everyone, and it’s the key to securing your family’s future.

Join us at a seminar presented by the Society for Financial Awareness, where you will gain an understanding of the significance of estate planning for both individuals and families.
