Peterson explains that life is divided between:
- Order / Familiarity: family, home, routines, security.
- Chaos / Unknown: uncertainty, loss, conflict,
death.
Without an estate plan, chaos wins. Families may face:
- Costly probate battles
- Unnecessary conflict
- Lost assets
- Stress during grief
But with a plan, you become a hero. You confront the "dragon" of procrastination and bring back peace of mind, clarity, and control for your loved ones.
🛡️ The Hero’s Tools: Your Estate Plan
Just like heroes need guides, you don’t have to face estate planning alone. Attorneys can help you build a plan that includes:
✅ A Will – directing how assets are passed
✅ Powers of Attorney – ensuring decisions are made if you cannot act
✅ A Living Will – clarifying healthcare wishes
✅ A Trust –
protecting assets and avoiding probate
These tools transform uncertainty into order and give your family a clear path forward.
🌟 Meaning Through Legacy
Peterson argues that true meaning comes from responsibility—caring for others and leaving something better behind. Estate
planning is a powerful way to do that.
It’s not just about money. It’s about:
- Protecting a spouse
- Providing for children or loved ones with special needs
- Ensuring your values and
stories live on
- Creating stability for future generations
- Estate planning is how you write your legacy.
