Wendy Witt, founder of AMillionFamilies.org, is one of my guests on the Caregiver Smile Summit. She is an Attorney and her social enterprise is focused on protecting a million families with responsible planning. She has mentored over 8,000 elder law attorneys, empowering them to protect more families. During the course of our interview, it became clear that in some ways, estate planning is misnamed, because it implies that one must have extensive assets to even consider an estate plan. That is not true.

“Everyone needs an estate plan because it is simply about control and protecting the ones that you love,” she said.
