Whether you’re updating your own plan or helping aging parents, you’ll appreciate our panel’s insights and practical steps to help you simplify decisions, potentially reduce taxes, and pass on what matters. 

        • Is your will enough to reflect your full financial picture? Are there blind spots you haven’t addressed?
        • Could a trust or the right asset titling help simplify wealth transfer and reduce tax burdens for your heirs?
        • Why parents and adult children need to understand how estate planning choices can impact taxes. What to discuss now to avoid surprises later.
        • Navigating estate planning for second marriages, blended families, and evolving family dynamics.
        • Practical steps to help minimize probate costs and legal delays.
        • Do your estate documents still reflect your current values? Are they still aligned with your long-term financial strategy?
        • What are the unintended consequences of outdated or “one-size-fits-all” estate plans?

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have a will. Why should I attend this event?

Great—you’re ahead of many. But a will alone often isn’t enough to address today’s tax landscape, evolving family structures, or asset complexity. This event will help you evaluate whether your current plan still reflects your full financial picture and long-term goals.

What kind of strategies will be discussed?

We’ll cover the real-world uses of trusts, asset titling, and beneficiary designations—and how they can help reduce taxes, avoid probate, and ensure a smoother transfer of wealth. Expect a clear, real-world conversation to help make your plan more effective.

How do I know if my estate plan is built to withstand life’s what-ifs?

Whether you’ve gone through a major life change, like a remarriage, the birth of a grandchild, or retirement—or you’re helping aging parents through their own planning, we’ll show you how to spot potential gaps before they cause stress or confusion for your family.

Who is this event for?

If you’ve saved and invested over your lifetime, even small planning mistakes can have major consequences. This event is designed for individuals and couples who want to be proactive, intentional, and tax-smart with the wealth they’ve built, and adult children who want to better understand how their parents’ planning (or lack of it) could affect them down the road.

What makes this different from talking to an attorney or financial advisor one-on-one?

You’ll hear directly from Cornerstone’s Wealth Advisors and attorneys from Legacy Law Firm in one conversation. It’s a rare opportunity to get multi-disciplinary insight in a clear, collaborative setting, without the pressure of a formal appointment.

Send Us Your Questions

If you have questions you’d like us to address during the event, feel free to send them ahead of time to cfsteam@mycfsgroup.com.

While we may not be able to answer every question individually, we’ll do our best to cover as many as possible.
We may group similar questions together to keep the conversation focused and relevant for everyone.

Want to bring your kids into the conversation?

This event is a great opportunity to help your adult children understand how your estate plan affects them, and how to prepare for their own future, too!

Hi Son/Daughter:

Cornerstone is hosting an estate planning panel called Beyond Your Will. They’ll be joined by attorneys from Legacy Law Firm and it’s meant to help families get clearer on what a good estate plan actually includes—not just a will, but the details that can help avoid taxes, delays, and stress down the road.

Whether you’re helping me think through things or just starting to plan for yourself, I think it’ll be really useful. Here’s what it will cover:

What a will does (and doesn’t) do
How trusts and titling can affect taxes—for everyone involved
Planning around blended families, second marriages, or unique situations
What conversations we should be having now to avoid surprises later

Sioux Falls – Sept 2 at 6:15 PM (in person or Zoom)
Huron – Sept 4 at 6:15 PM

If you’re interested, maybe we could even attend together.

Love,
[Mom / Dad]
