A little late, but this was too good not to share! 🎾

Last weekend, Alex traded the office for the tennis court and competed at the Illinois State Championship, bringing home 2nd place! 🥈

Her team defeated Northern Illinois 3–2 and battled Chicago all the way to the deciding court, with the championship coming down to a 9–11 third set tiebreaker. Just TWO points from the state title!

We love seeing what our team is up to outside the office. Congratulations, Alex, on an incredible weekend! 🥳🎾🎾

Legacy planning doesn't have to be stressful. With the right tools and timely strategies, you can stay true to your vision and help your loved ones feel prepared.

Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
• The amount you can pass on without federal estate or gift tax is $15 million per person—or $30 million for married couples in 2026. These higher limits give families more flexibility and room to plan for the future.
• Preparing your wealth transfer priorities today can make a meaningful difference. Name beneficiaries, establish a will and consider trusts.
• Gifting can also play a role. Many people give annually to take advantage of the gift tax exclusion—up to $19,000 per person in 2026 without triggering gift tax.

A thoughtful approach can help more of what you’ve built reach the people and causes you care about. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hpRIzN
