Legacy planning might be one of the most overlooked aspects of securing your family’s future and the stats back that up. Only 33% of US adults have estate planning documents in place, and while there might be many reasons why it gets put off, we want to try and change that.

That’s why we’ve invited Ladies in Law onto the show. Jazzy Rippy and Ameena Sheikh are the two powerhouse women behind the company, and they are one of our favorite Purse Strings-approved professionals because our missions are very much aligned.

We’ll use this episode to discuss the importance of having an estate plan in place and why it’s much more accessible than many people think. Financial planning is the key to having a successful retirement and estate planning is the key to creating generational wealth. Ladies in Law work with women to create a process that is affordable, efficient and maintainable no matter what changes in your life.

If you’re looking for a place to start, go ahead and schedule a free consultation. It only takes 30 minutes of your time and can be done entirely virtually.
