About

You tell me you love me—and I believe you.

That’s exactly why I’m asking you to protect your family.

Having a Will, a Trust, and a Medical Proxy isn’t about paperwork or legal formalities. It’s about certainty. It’s about making sure that if anything ever happens to you, the people you love are not left confused, stressed, or forced to make painful decisions during the hardest moments of their lives. Planning ahead is how you ensure that everything you worked so hard to build stays in the hands of those you built it for.

Love isn’t only what you say—it’s what you safeguard. And nothing says “I love you” more clearly than making sure your family is protected, no matter what.

The racial wealth gap in the United States remains one of the most persistent barriers to economic mobility. While discrimination in employment, housing, and financial markets continues to play a significant role, an often-overlooked contributor is the failure to preserve and transfer wealth across generations. Each year, substantial wealth is lost at death—not because families had nothing, but because what they had was never formally protected or passed on.

Black and Hispanic families are far less likely to receive inheritances, and when they do, those inheritances are typically far smaller than those received by White households. A major reason is the absence of basic estate-planning tools, such as wills and trusts. Many families underestimate their ability to leave even modest assets behind, yet without a plan, those assets are frequently lost to probate delays, legal costs, or unintended distribution. What could have provided stability, opportunity, and security instead disappears.

Estate-planning documents dramatically increase the likelihood that assets will be distributed according to a person’s wishes. While planning alone does not erase the racial wealth gap, it significantly improves outcomes for every family and offers a tangible, actionable step toward breaking cycles of intergenerational loss.

At You say me you love me, we focus on supporting attorneys in the preparation of wills, trusts, and medical proxies so families—especially those in underserved communities—can protect what they have worked so hard to build. By expanding access to affordable, culturally responsive estate-planning services, we help families preserve assets, pass down wealth with intention, and interrupt generations of preventable loss that have disproportionately affected Black and Hispanic households.

Estate planning is not just a legal task—it is an act of love, responsibility, and empowerment. It is a strategy for building lasting family stability and strengthening community wealth. Our commitment is simple but powerful: no family should lose what they earned simply because they were never given the tools or guidance to protect it.
