National Estate Planning Awareness Week: Plan Today, Protect Tomorrow
Life is busy, creating or updating an estate plan often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. If that’s true for you, you’re not alone. In fact, more than half of Americans do not have an estate plan in place.
National Estate Planning Awareness Week, Oct. 19-25, 2026, is the perfect opportunity to get your plans in order. To help you get started, the UF Office of Estate & Gift Planning is offering two complimentary webinars led by experienced members of the UF Advisor Network. You’ll learn valuable information to protect your loved ones, make informed decisions for the future and ensure that your wishes are carried out.
The first webinar is on Oct. 20th at 12pm and will be hosted by Adam Roark, J.D.,LL.M. You can register for that session here.
The second webinar is on Oct. 22nd at 6pm and will be hosted by Ann M. Covington, CFP®, CPWA®. You can register for that session here.
We are also offering a free Personal Estate Planning Kit filled with helpful guidance, answers to common questions and resources to help you organize your plans with confidence.
Whether you’re creating your first estate plan or updating an existing one, acting today can provide peace of mind for tomorrow and help you build a legacy that reflects what matters most to you.
