🖤😔 : This one is a painful but necessary reminder. 💯🖤
Following the tragic passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, reports indicate that his widow was excluded from death benefits entirely—because she was never named as a beneficiary. Their child has since been identified as a beneficiary for some benefits, but the damage of an outdated plan is unfolding publicly.
This is exactly why estate planning matters—and why updating it annually (or at least after EVERY major life event) is non-negotiable.
✅ Got married? Update your plan.
✅ Had a child? Update your plan.
✅ Divorced? Update your plan.
✅ Acquired new assets? Update your plan.
Your loved ones shouldn't have to fight for what you meant to leave them. And it's more affordable to plan ahead than you might think. Estate planning is for everyone, not just for the wealthy.
