New Estate & Legacy Planning Tools Are Now Available

View all main articles
Mar 27, 2026

We’re excited to announce a new suite of Estate & Legacy Planning materials designed to help financial professionals facilitate more meaningful, more effective estate planning conversations.

These resources were created to address a challenge many advisors know well: clients often procrastinate on estate planning, not because they don’t understand its importance, but because the process is emotionally complex. Concerns about fairness, family dynamics, burden, mortality, and legacy can all get in the way of follow-through.

The new materials include client-facing discovery tools, facilitator guides, meeting templates, and other resources to support a thoughtful, structured planning process.

Book Review – Die With Zero: Rethinking Wealth, Time, and the Purpose of Money

1.0 CE per the CFP Board
What if the goal of financial planning isn’t to die with the biggest portfolio possible? Join Derek Hagen as he explores the core ideas from Bill Perkins’ book Die with Zero and what they mean for how we think about money, time, and life experiences. Perkins challenges the conventional accumulation mindset and invites us to consider a different metric of success: maximizing life fulfillment rather than account balances.
