Lessons of the Elephants

As the elephants emerged from the water, their huge ivory tusks fasinated me the most.  These gigantic but gentle creatures share the earth with us and fortunately we now protect them from being hunted for their tusks.  I can therefore sit on our boat with my 10 year old daughter and marvel with her on the graceful way the white tusks elephants emerge from the River. 

Without the interference of man, animals instinctively protect and preserve themselves as well as the longivity of their offspring.  They want their young to learn and benefit from them.  It is a natural fact, a given.  For us, we have a choice to protect and preserve ourselves and our assets as well as the future of the next generation.  It is our choice to plan or not to plan. 

If the wisdom of the animal kingdom provides any answers, planning would be our best choice. Contact us at http://www.ythlaw.com/ for your estate planning needs.
