Gift a Mom a Will this Mother’s Day

Yes, Really.

Moms have a lot on their minds.

Their kids, for one.

Themselves, for another.

And likely a smorgasbord of other stressors: retirement, being a present grandmother—to children or fur babies—managing a loved one’s health issues, and trying to cope with the latest unsettling news cycle.

As we all get older, it gets harder to juggle life’s endless demands. That can lead to tough thoughts like:

“Am I really that old?”

Or:

“What happens when I’m not around to deal with all of this?”

That’s where you come in.

Your parents—or parent—are likely still fretting about you, no matter how grown you are. And if you know a mom, chances are she’s still putting everyone else’s needs ahead of her own.

So what does it mean to really show up for a mom this Mother’s Day? Maybe it looks like taking something off her plate. Maybe it looks like helping her sleep better at night. Maybe it means finally starting a conversation she hasn’t had the space or energy to initiate.

That’s where an estate plan comes into the equation.

Okay, but Why Mother’s Day?

We know—Mother’s Day is supposed to be joyful. It’s brunch. It’s flowers. It’s laughter-filled evenings and sentimental cards. To most, it’s not exactly the best time to bring up legal stuff or talk about what life might look like without Mom.

But what if that conversation is actually the most loving thing you could offer?

An estate plan isn’t just paperwork. It’s a plan for peace of mind. And when it comes to building lasting stability—for herself and the people she loves—chances are, it’s been sitting on her to-do list longer than she’d like to admit.

Real Talk: Starting The Conversation

The best way to begin is to try.

Even setting a date to talk or booking an appointment together moves the needle.

When it’s time to talk, try easing in with one of these:

Focus on care, not crisis

“I’ve been thinking about how I’d want my life handled in an emergency… and I realized I’ve never asked what you’d want. Can we talk about that sometime?”

Offer support, not pressure

“No rush, but I’d love to help if you ever want to organize things like a will or health directive. I know it’s not fun, but it makes things so much easier down the road.”

Make it mutual

“I’ve been looking into doing my own estate plan. Did you ever make one? Maybe we can walk through it together.”

Tie it to love, not loss

“I want to make sure your legacy is protected—and that things go the way you’d want them to. That feels like one of the most important ways I can honor you.”

We know these conversations aren’t always easy. That’s why we believe in starting wherever you are—with honesty, curiosity, and care.

Once you start the conversation, the next step is making it feel doable—not daunting.
