Webinar: Planning with Intention - The Estate Planning Process That Endures
2026-04-24 10:00 - 11:15 (America/New_York)
At Elville and Associates, we believe estate planning excellence is not accidental—it is intentional.
Many individuals want an estate plan that truly works: one that reflects their values, protects the people they love, transfers assets as intended, controls costs, adapts to change, and stands the test of time. They want clarity, confidence, and peace of mind—knowing their plan will function when it matters most.
Yet too often, estate planning is reduced to documents alone. Without a thoughtful process, ongoing guidance, and a clear understanding of risks, even well-intended plans can fail.
Achieving true excellence in estate planning requires more. It requires purpose, partnership, education, and a disciplined planning process—one that evolves as life unfolds. In short, it requires being extremely intentional.
In this cornerstone educational webinar, Stephen R. Elville, Managing Principal and Lead Attorney of Elville and Associates, will lead a meaningful discussion on Intentionalism in Estate Planning—the philosophy and process that guides the firm’s approach to protecting families and legacies.
Topics will include:

Why intentionality matters in estate planning—and what happens when it’s missing

Understanding the real risks that cause estate plans to fail

Clarifying goals, priorities, and values before documents are drafted

Why many estate plans do not work as intended, despite good intentions

The importance of maintenance, review, and updating over time

The critical role of partnership between client and estate planning attorney

This webinar is ideal for individuals and families who want more than documents—who want a plan that works, adapts, and endures.

Elville Legacy Series: Planning with Continuity - The Elville Client Care Program
2026-09-25 10:00 - 10:45
The Elville Client Care Program – Our Continuity Program for Families Who Want Their Estate Plan to Keep Working as Life Changes.
Creating an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself, the people you love, and everything you’ve worked hard to build.
But signing your documents isn’t the finish line—it’s the beginning!
Life changes. Families grow. Relationships evolve. Assets change. Laws change. And as your life changes, your estate plan should change with it.
Join us for this educational online event as we explore why ongoing planning is just as important as creating your estate plan in the first place. We’ll discuss how regular reviews, thoughtful updates, and coordinated planning can help ensure your wishes continue to reflect your life—not the life you had years ago.
During this presentation, we’ll discuss:
– Why even well-designed estate plans should be reviewed regularly
– The life events that often signal it’s time to revisit your planning
– How trust funding, asset ownership, and beneficiary designations work together to keep your plan effective
– Why coordination with your financial advisor, CPA, insurance professional, and other trusted advisors matters
– How the Elville Client Care Program helps provide continuity, accountability, and confidence as life unfolds

At Elville and Associates, we believe your legacy isn’t defined by a single document or a moment in time. It’s shaped by the choices you make throughout your life and the care you take to protect what matters most.
That’s why we don’t believe estate planning ends when your documents are signed -we believe that’s when the relationship truly begins.
Join us to learn how ongoing planning can help give you confidence today while helping protect the people you love for years to come.
