Before the Year Ends: Planning with Purpose
As we move into the final weeks of the year, many families begin taking stock — of their
investments, their businesses, and the legacy they’re building. For affluent families, this is often
the ideal moment to revisit the structures that protect and preserve what truly matters.
At MacMillan Estate Planning, we find that thoughtful year-end planning can make a profound
difference. Whether you’re considering a trust, refining corporate structures, or simply ensuring
your documents reflect your current wishes, now is the time to act while the year is still open for
adjustments.
Why the End of the Year Matters
Families with estates exceeding $3 million often benefit from completing their estate planning
before year-end. Doing so can:
• Optimize tax efficiency before fiscal deadlines and new-year reporting cycles.
• Strengthen family protection through updated wills, trusts, and directives that reflect
changing dynamics.
• Revisit business succession and corporate ownership structures to ensure continuity
and minimize exposure.
• Bring clarity and peace of mind, knowing your intentions are clearly defined and your
affairs are in order.
The families we serve often describe the feeling as a quiet confidence — knowing their wealth is
secure, their loved ones are protected, and their legacy is positioned to endure.
