About estate planning.

A well-designed estate plan often includes a will, trust(s), power of attorney, healthcare directive, beneficiary designations, legacy letter and a fully funded funeral plan to cover you and your family’s end-of-life needs. A good place to start is with a Beneficiary Liquidity Plan® and Homesteaders-funded funeral plan.  We recommend working with your local estate planning attorney and funeral provider to create a comprehensive estate plan customized to your unique needs and wishes.

Estate planning includes deciding how and where to distribute your financial assets, property and belongings after you die, often in legal documentation. Your funeral plans are a crucial piece of your estate plan, but your estate plan encompasses all of your assets and end-of-life decisions.

Yes. A fully funded funeral plan is key to a strong estate plan. Planning and paying for your funeral in advance gives you and your loved ones peace of mind — knowing your wishes will be respected and your loved ones will have space to grieve, instead of making difficult decisions.

Now is the best time to plan, regardless of age or wealth. Everyone has an estate, which means everyone needs an estate plan. Estate planning provides protection for your decisions about your assets and plans after you die or if you’re unable to handle affairs on your own.
