Estate Planning

Life is ever-changing; marital status, occupation, the birth or adoption of a child, moving, or the start of a new business. All events will have an impact on your estate plan and require the need for a regular review.

An Estate Plan involves more than just will preparation. A properly created Estate Plan will allow you to influence the future when you are either unable to make a decision or are no longer around to do so. Working with your own personal attorney or through the barrister referral service available at ECU – A Division of WFCU Credit Union, members have access to a wide range of estate planning options depending on the complexity and need through Avanti Investment Services.
