For many women, estate planning isn’t just about organizing documents or creating a will—it’s a vital step in securing their financial legacy and protecting the people and causes they care about most. At 3FG Law, we understand the unique challenges women face in navigating the complexities of estate planning, especially in Oahu, where family, community, and legacy hold deep significance.
Our approach is rooted in compassion and practicality, ensuring women feel empowered and confident in their estate planning decisions.
Why Women Should Prioritize Estate Planning
Women often encounter financial hurdles distinct from their male counterparts. According to JP Morgan, women often find themselves with less saved due to career breaks for caregiving and the persistent gender pay gap. These challenges make wealth planning an essential strategy for women to ensure financial security in their later years.

How Can Women Prepare for Retirement?
Oahu’s breathtaking landscapes may inspire thoughts of a peaceful retirement, but women need to plan for their financial future to make that dream a reality. With a longer life expectancy, women’s retirement savings need to stretch further. It’s vital to:
- Actively participate in retirement and financial planning.
- Regularly assess savings and investments to ensure they align with future goals.
- Partner with professionals who understand the unique challenges women face.
Estate Planning as a Tool for Wealth Preservation
Estate planning allows women to take charge of their financial future. From creating wills to setting up trusts, this process ensures that your wishes are honored and your assets are distributed as you intend. Key tools include:
- Last Will and Testament: Avoid intestate succession laws that could distribute your assets contrary to your wishes.
- Private Family Trusts: Ideal for complex family situations, these trusts offer clarity, structure, and flexibility for passing on wealth.
- Powers of Attorney: Appoint someone you trust to manage your finances if you are unable to do so.
3FG Law Is Dedicated to Empowering Women through Wealth Preservation
Joanna Amberger, founder of 3FG Law, understands the importance of estate planning on a deeply personal level. Her passion for this work began as she watched her mother struggle to manage finances after a divorce. Witnessing the stress of financial uncertainty inspired Joanna to build a safe space for women to address their unique financial challenges.
At 3FG Law, we don’t just create estate plans and walk away. Instead, we form lifelong relationships with our clients, ensuring their plans remain functional and up-to-date. One client hadn’t updated their estate plan for over 25 years—missing critical updates like retitling their home into a trust. We worked with them to revise their plan and prevent costly probate issues.

How Estate Planning Supports Caregivers
Many women in Oahu step into the role of caregivers for aging parents, often putting their own financial security at risk. Estate planning helps alleviate these burdens by:
- Ensuring responsibilities are clearly defined among family members.
- Establishing financial protections like long-term care insurance and trusts.
- Reducing the emotional and financial strain of unexpected caregiving needs.
Your Plan Should Evolve With You
Estate planning isn’t a one-time event. Life changes—whether it’s buying a home, having children, or retiring—should prompt updates to your plan. At 3FG Law, we focus on creating flexible, comprehensive plans that grow with you.
Unlike many attorneys who hand over a binder and consider their job done, we offer ongoing support to keep your plan aligned with your goals and Oahu’s ever-evolving estate laws.
