National Estate Planning Awareness Month – October 2025
Why This Month Matters
October is National Estate Planning Awareness Month, an initiative designed to help individuals and families understand the importance of planning ahead. Estate planning is not just for the wealthy or retired, it’s for anyone who wants to protect their loved ones, avoid unnecessary stress, and ensure their wishes are honored.
Did you know that well over half of Americans do not have any estate planning in place? Without clear plans in place, families may face uncertainty, probate and other legal complications, unnecessary or higher than expected costs, or even conflicts during already difficult times.
National Estate Planning Awareness Month reminds us that now is the perfect time to review or create your estate plan. Planning ahead allows you to:
Protect your family and assets
Ensure your healthcare and financial wishes are followed
Minimize potential conflicts or misunderstandings
Plan for unexpected life changes
Key Estate Planning Steps
Every family’s situation is unique, but some essential elements to consider include:
Wills and Trusts – Decide how and when assets will be distributed and who will manage them.
Financial and Healthcare Powers of Attorney – Appoint someone you trust to handle finances and healthcare decisions if you cannot for any period of time.
Healthcare Directives – Ensure your healthcare wishes are legally documented so they are followed if you are unable to voice them yourself.
Guardianship Decisions – Protect minor children or dependents with clear guidance short-term or long-term.
