Why Most Estate Plans "Silently" Fail

Even the most airtight wills and trusts can fall apart when you swap strategy for tactics. In this video, Eric Sajdak, ChFC®, pulls back the curtain on why so many estate plans fail—not because of bad math or missing paperwork, but because no one asked the most important question: What is this money actually for?

He breaks down:
Why ‘perfect’ documents still cause family drama
How misalignment, silence, and surprise undermine your legacy
How to pass on values—not just assets

If your plan doesn't reflect your intentions, it’s not a plan—it’s a time bomb.
