The Challenge: Overcoming Estate Planning Misconceptions
For years, Kevin Thompson has helped retirees navigate the complexities of financial planning. However, a common misconception among his clients was that estate planning was only for the ultra-wealthy or prohibitively expensive. Many retirees overlooked critical documents—such as medical directives, durable powers of attorney, and living wills—that could significantly impact
their futures.
Estate planning at his prior firms was often cumbersome and inefficient, requiring extensive coordination with attorneys or, in some cases, being deprioritized altogether due to its complexity. Kevin knew there had to be a better way.
