August: Make-A-Will Month

Estate state planning is an often overlooked element of financial wellness. Over half of Americans – 56% in fact – do not have an up-to-date estate plan.


At Gevurtz Menashe, we believe one of the best gifts you could leave your beneficiaries is an organized estate plan. Besides ensuring your wishes will be carried out, in a way you feel good about, it can relieve your loved ones of the tremendous stress of trying to decide what you would have wanted.
