As America gears up to celebrate its historic 250th anniversary in 2026, marking the signing of
the Declaration of Independence, we’re embarking on a special journey: the America 250
Legacy Series!
Every Friday, we’ll draw inspiration from the architects of our nation, the Founding Fathers, and
connect their monumental vision for America to your personal legacy and estate planning. Just
as they drafted documents to secure the future of a budding nation, you too can draft a plan to
secure your family’s future.
For our very first Founding Father Friday, we look to George Washington, the meticulously
prepared patriarch. Did you know Washington personally drafted his own 29-page will, outlining
specific provisions for his family, the enslaved people he freed, and even his beloved Mount
Vernon? He left nothing to chance, demonstrating a profound commitment to his legacy.
The Lesson for Today: If the Father of our Country took such care to plan his personal affairs,
shouldn’t we all? Your will, trust, and estate plan are your personal “founding documents,”
ensuring your wishes are known and your loved ones are protected.
Join us every Friday as we count down to America’s grand Semiquincentennial. We’ll explore
lessons from history to help you plan your future and celebrate this incredible milestone with
peace of mind.
