Kirsten Waldrip – Estate Planner, Professor & Financial Literacy Advocate

Personal Notes

I am passionate about educating individuals on the importance of estate planning. Estate planning is an area that affects every person, either directly through their own personal estate, or indirectly through a loved ones estate. Estate planning entails so much more than managing assets. It involves planning for life, incapacity, disability, death, and your eventual legacy.
