One of the most common myths we hear?
“I don’t have enough to need a legacy plan.”

But legacy planning isn’t reserved for the ultra-wealthy. It’s about intentionally preparing your assets, values, and wishes—regardless of the size of your estate.

What You Own Might Matter More Than You Think

You may not think of yourself as having a “large estate,” but when you total up retirement accounts, life insurance, a home, and personal belongings, your legacy can add up quickly. More importantly, it’s not just about what you have—it’s about who it’s for.

At Tandem, we’ve seen modest estates create incredible impact—funding education for grandchildren, supporting charities, or giving surviving spouses a sense of financial confidence during a difficult time.

Legacy Is About Values, Not Just Valuables

Do you want to support a child’s future? Give to causes that matter to you? Protect your spouse from uncertainty? These are the kinds of legacies that matter most.

Your legacy plan ensures those intentions are clear and protected—so your loved ones aren’t left guessing or grappling with red tape.

Even a Simple Plan Can Make a Big Difference

You don’t need complicated trust structures or offshore accounts to get started. Sometimes, updating your beneficiary designations and titling your assets correctly is a powerful first step.

We’ve helped many clients put a straightforward plan in place—one that avoids probate, minimizes taxes, and ensures assets go exactly where they’re intended.

Why Waiting Can Cost More Than Planning

Without a plan, your loved ones may face:

• Delays in accessing assets
  
  

• Legal fees from probate court
  
  

• Emotional stress navigating unclear wishes
  
  

It doesn’t take wealth to leave a mess. But it also doesn’t take wealth to leave a meaningful legacy.
