“Men would rather kill themselves than admit they are depressed.” This chilling statement illustrates the complexity of male depression.

Depression appears to take a greater toll on men. Although more women attempt suicide, more men actually succeed and commit suicide at four times the rate women do. A recent study found that depressed men were twice as likely as their non-depressed counterparts to develop heart disease or die suddenly because of heart problems.

No one should say that it is a sign of weakness to seek help. In fact, the opposite is true. It takes incredible strength. To disregard or overcome the pride that blocks you from reaching out is a tremendous act of will. It may take all the willpower you can summon!

#AGLEGACY.org #FarmSuccession #EstatePlanning

   Mentoring is a relationship in which a more experienced or knowledgeable person guides a less experienced or less knowledgeable person through an activity or event in their life. This approach is similar to coaching but in coaching the goals and the plan of action are often set by the coach. In a mentoring relationship, the mentee sets the goals and formulates the plan under the guidance of the mentor.

Non-titled property has no document specifying who officially owns the property. And, while it may or may not represent substantial monetary value, it often carries notable emotional value for family members of the owner. How do you plan to distribute your possessions of emotional value to the next generation?
