Hey, Savannah millennials! We see you out there, sipping craft beer at Service Brewing Co., brunching in Forsyth Park, or paddleboarding on Tybee. You’re living your best life, and that’s awesome. But let’s talk about something you might not have on your radar yet: estate planning. At Smith Barid, LLC, we know “estate planning” might sound like something for your parents or grandparents, but trust us, it’s for you too. Here’s why.
Estate Planning Isn’t Just About Money
First things first: you don’t need to be rich to need an estate plan. If you have any assets at all (spoiler alert: you do), you need a plan. This includes:

You’re Not Invincible (Sorry)
We know it’s not fun to think about, but accidents and illnesses can happen to anyone. Having a plan in place ensures that if something does happen, your affairs are in order and your loved ones aren’t left scrambling.
It’s About Control
Estate planning puts you in control. You decide:
