Rosie and Ricke's story

Estate planning member profile

My folks did not prepare well. Their wish was for their farms to be sold and the proceeds divided among their three kids. They had wills, but nothing specific. It was a nightmare for my siblings and me. It did not end well. I swore to myself I would never do that to our children.

Dave Bergland
Financial Representative
"An estate plan helps ensure what you want done gets done. Proper planning makes it easier for your financial representative to carry out your wishes and helps avoid potential arguments among those you leave behind. My best advice is to not procrastinate. And when working with an attorney, be sure to work with someone who specializes in estate planning. It can make a big difference."

"When it comes to estate planning, everyone’s situation is different. Some people have circumstances where they need a living trust. Some people just need beneficiaries updated. Do the work, get your plan completed and then go live your life. You’ll feel good knowing you have secured your family’s future."
