Find Your "Why": The Heart Behind Your Estate Plan

Find Your “Why”: The Heart Behind Your Estate Plan

Welcome back to Law Days and Lattes, where we blend legal know-how with real life. In today’s episode, host Sidney Wheelan dives into the real reason behind every good estate plan: your “why.”

🧠 This episode isn’t about legal jargon—it’s about the people and values you’re protecting. Whether it’s your kids, your partner, your business, or your peace of mind, your motivations matter. And when you lead with that clarity, the logistics get a whole lot easier.

We cover:

✅ Why estate planning is more about life than death

✅ How life events—good or bad—can become the catalyst for planning

✅ The importance of protecting blended families

✅ What business owners risk without a continuity plan

✅ How to turn your personal “why” into a legal plan that works

💡 Your story is your strategy. You don’t have to go it alone—we’ll build the “how” together.
