“Ozymandias” and the Wisdom of Estate Planning: What Will Your Legacy Say?

In Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem Ozymandias, a once-great king boasts, “Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”—yet all that remains centuries later is a shattered statue in the desert. His empire, power, and achievements vanished, leaving behind nothing but a warning: Without foresight, even the greatest legacies fade.

Estate planning serves as the modern answer to that timeless truth. While most of us don’t rule kingdoms, we all leave a legacy—through our families, our businesses, and the values we pass on. Without a plan, that legacy can quickly become scattered, lost, or subject to conflict and court intervention.

A well-crafted estate plan ensures:

• Your wishes are clearly preserved

• Your family is protected from legal and financial uncertainty

• Your legacy reflects your intentions—not the state’s default rules

Where Ozymandias left ruins, you can leave clarity, peace, and purpose.
