Why Consider Pre-Planning?

The death of a spouse is the most stressful life event, often leaving survivors without 75% or more of their financial support. In the U.S., 13.6 million women are widows. Among those over 65, nearly half are widowed and most live alone. Pre-planning allows families to ease financial burdens and ensure final wishes with dignity. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.
