Congratulations to this Year's Children's Champions: Richard & Janice Oliphant
Estate planning is generally considered to be putting in place a system of instructions to transfer your property upon your death--which it is, to a large extent. However, estate planning can be so much more than that.
It can also be about transferring values to your loved ones and/or transferring some of your property to charities so your life brings about positive changes for the community-at-large.
However, there are some people that give back to the community on a continual basis through the support of good causes.
On March 7, my wife and I attended a celebration in the honor of Dick and Jan Oliphant who received the Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert's Children's Champions award for their support of the Museum and other philanthropic activities in our Coachella Valley. The event was also a fundraiser for the museum.
The gracious and elegant couple is pictured below.
