At The Lansky Law Firm, we believe that estate planning isn’t about age—it’s about preparing for the people and future you care about most.

If you were born between 1981 and 1996, you’re part of the millennial generation. Whether you’re building a career, buying a home, growing your savings, or starting a family, this chapter of life brings important milestones—and with them, the opportunity to put protections in place that give you peace of mind.

Why Estate Planning Matters for Millennials

One of the most important reasons for millennials to have an estate plan is to ensure your children are cared for according to your wishes.

For parents: A last will and testament allows you to name a guardian for your minor children. Without a will, a court may make this life-changing decision—without understanding your values, hopes, or vision for your family’s future.
For everyone: Life is unpredictable. Key documents like a healthcare power of attorney and a financial power of attorney ensure that someone you trust will make decisions on your behalf if you become seriously ill or injured. Without them, your loved ones may face complex legal challenges during already emotional times.

Estate Planning Extends Further Than You Might Think

Creating an estate plan offers protection across many areas of your life. It allows you to:

Safeguard your growing financial assets
Provide for the care of pets
Manage digital accounts such as social media, online banking, and cryptocurrency
Leave behind meaningful gifts, memories, or personal messages for loved ones

Estate planning is about peace of mind—making sure your wishes are honored and easing the burden on the people you love most.
