Estate Planning &
Generational Wealth

A Policy Protects the Money. Estate Planning Protects the Instructions.

The Problem

Without a Plan, Courts Decide What Happens to Your Family

Most people assume their assets will automatically pass to their family when they die. But without proper estate planning, courts and state laws decide what happens to your assets, your children, and your healthcare decisions — not you.

The $124 trillion Great Wealth Transfer is underway. Over the next 20 years, more wealth will change hands between generations than at any point in history. Without a plan, taxes, probate, and poor structuring can erode a significant portion of what you've worked a lifetime to build.

Latimore Life & Legacy LLC helps Central Pennsylvania families connect protection planning with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — ensuring your wishes are followed and your legacy is preserved.

"Building wealth is one achievement. Passing it on is another. Generational Wealth Planning ensures your legacy survives — on your terms."

Common Questions

Estate Planning FAQs

Do I need an attorney for estate planning?

For wills and trusts, yes — you'll need a licensed estate planning attorney. We work alongside your attorney to ensure your life insurance and financial products are properly integrated into your overall estate plan.

How does life insurance help with estate planning?

Life insurance provides an immediate, tax-free death benefit that bypasses probate — giving your family liquidity to pay estate taxes, settle debts, and equalize inheritances without forcing a sale of assets.

What is generational wealth planning?

Generational wealth planning goes beyond a will — it's a comprehensive strategy to protect, preserve, and pass on your assets to the next generation in the most tax-efficient way possible, using life insurance, trusts, and strategic beneficiary designations.
