🎁 Wrap up 2025 responsibly and start 2026 with peace of mind by creating a will. The team at Bell, Davis & Pitt P.A. is here to guide you every step of the way. Here are four reasons the end of the year is a good time to get started:

• Give your loved ones the best gift — comfort, security, and fewer tough decisions.

• Talk with family about your plans when you see them during the holidays.

• Reflect on major life changes — events this year, like a growing family, may require updating or creating a will.

• Coordinate with year-end financial decisions — important choices may highlight the need for a plan.*
