Viive Planning: A Modern, Compassionate Approach to Estate Planning

Rethinking Estate Planning with Viive

Estate planning shouldn’t just be about writing a Last Will & Testament—Viive Planning knows this! It should be about guiding families through aging and end of life transitions with clarity, empathy, and proactive support. In this blog, we explore how Viive Planning offers a holistic model for legacy preparation that supports both emotional needs and legal obligations.

Why Traditional Estate Planning Falls Short

Viive was founded in response to the rigid, often impersonal systems of conventional estate planning. Rather than focusing solely on legal paperwork, Viive prioritizes the family dynamic and the communication needed to make transitions smooth.

When Should You Start Planning?

Many believe estate planning is only necessary after retirement or illness. Viive challenges that mindset.

The Power of Check-ins: Staying Up-to-Date with Life Changes

Planning isn't a one-time task. Viive recommends periodic reviews to adapt to evolving needs—especially in key decades like your 70s and 80s.

What Sets Viive Apart: Executor Advisors and Ongoing Support

Viive's team includes certified executor advisors who help families manage estate responsibilities with confidence.

A Family Conversation: Breaking the Silence

One of Viive's signature services is hosting collaborative family meetings. These foster trust and transparency between generations and reduce tension around aging and end of life planning.

Do Married Couples Need Separate Wills?

Viive's approach emphasizes that while a joint plan is created, individual legal documents are still necessary for each spouse. This reflects the complexity of modern family dynamics.

Final Thoughts: Estate Planning for the Living

Estate planning is not just about death—it's about living well, with peace of mind. Viive Planning helps families align their wishes, reduce stress, and communicate with purpose.
