Generation X Is Turning 60…and Most Don’t Have an Estate Plan

In other words, most Gen Xers haven’t made a will, created a trust or signed forms that empower others to make financial, legal or medical decisions on their behalf. Generation X has spent decades being the reliable generation. The ones who handle things. The ones people call when there is a problem. Estate planning is part of that responsibility too. If you have been putting this off, now is the time to start the conversation. Contact Vick Law, P.C. today and let us help you create a plan that protects your family, your future, and everything you worked hard to build.
