Wellington Burt was so determined to control his wealth after death that his will delayed distributions until 21 years after his last surviving grandchild passed away. 😳

The result?

His fortune sat untouched for nearly 100 years and wasn’t distributed until 2010, to distant relatives who had never even met him.

It’s one of the wildest examples of how powerful estate planning can be.

Because yes, a plan can protect your legacy… but it can also create decades of delays and complications if it’s too restrictive. ⚖️

Estate planning is all about balance, protecting what you’ve built while still making sure your wishes work in the real world.

Getting your estate plan signed is a huge step. 👏

But one of the biggest mistakes people make after that?

Never talking about it again. 😅

The people you’ve chosen, executors, trustees, healthcare agents, actually need to know they’ve been chosen. And it’s better to do it while it’s fresh in your mind rather than later!

They should also know where your documents are and what role they may need to play if something happens.

Because even the best estate plan can create confusion if nobody knows it exists.
