Bruce Chats Legacy Planning

In this episode, we are joined by Bruce Jenks, our Financial Adviser at Stewart Group, who shares valuable insights on legacy planning.

Legacy planning goes beyond simply writing a will, it involves ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and protecting the people you care about most. Procrastinating on this important task can lead to unnecessary complications for those you leave behind.

It's important to remember that legacy planning is not just for the wealthy or the elderly. Your legacy deserves your attention and proactive action—don’t leave it to chance.
