<h2>Estate planning isn't just for the ultra-wealthy.</h2>
<p class="section-intro">It's for anyone who wants to ensure their wealth, property, and wishes are handled properly. Without a plan in place, here's what your family could face:</p>
<div class="risk-list">
<div class="risk-item">
<div class="risk-num">01</div>
<p>Your assets could be tied up in probate court, leading to delays and unnecessary costs for your family.</p>
</div>
<div class="risk-item">
<div class="risk-num">02</div>
<p>Your family may face legal and financial complications when managing your estate without clear direction.</p>
</div>
<div class="risk-item">
<div class="risk-num">03</div>
<p>Important healthcare and guardianship decisions could be left to the courts instead of your chosen representatives.</p>
