New Year, Smarter You: Resolutions That Build Wealth and Protect Your Legacy in 2026
The start of a new year is filled with promises—healthier habits, smarter spending, more time with family. But what if your resolutions could also grow your wealth, lower your taxes, and safeguard your legacy?
At Omni 360 Advisors and Omni Legacy Law, we believe that intentional planning is the most powerful resolution you can make. As you step into 2026, here’s how to align your financial and legal strategy with the goals that truly matter.
1. “I Want to Get Organized” → Review and Update Your Estate Plan
Getting your affairs in order isn’t just about cleaning out closets—it’s about ensuring your legacy is protected and your wishes are clear.
✅ Revisit your will and trusts
✅ Update powers of attorney and healthcare directives
✅ Check beneficiaries on life insurance and retirement accounts
✅ Make sure documents reflect any changes from 2025 (births, deaths, business sales, etc.)
Resolution in action: Schedule an estate plan review to ensure your intentions match your current life and goals.
2. “I Want to Save More” → Reevaluate Your Tax Strategy
Saving starts with efficiency—and that includes being tax-smart. With the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) going into effect this year, tax planning in 2026 demands a new playbook.
✅ Maximize new charitable deduction opportunities
✅ Strategize around the 0.5% AGI floor for itemizers
✅ Review business structure and income projections
✅ Plan ahead for capital gains or gifting strategies
Resolution in action: Meet with your advisor early in Q1 to map out a personalized tax approach under the new rules.
3. “I Want to Take Control of My Finances” → Conduct a Comprehensive Wealth Review
This is the year to stop being reactive and start being proactive.
✅ Update your net worth statement
✅ Rebalance investment allocations
✅ Assess liquidity for upcoming goals
✅ Align your assets with your estate and tax plan
Resolution in action: Use this time to define your short- and long-term priorities—then align your assets accordingly.
4. “I Want to Spend More Time with Family” → Plan for Generational Wealth and Communication
Legacy is more than what you leave behind—it’s how you prepare the next generation to carry it forward.
✅ Host a family meeting to discuss goals, values, and wealth education
✅ Share your vision for philanthropy, succession, or stewardship
✅ Clarify roles and expectations for family business involvement
Resolution in action: Build intentional moments into your calendar for family legacy conversations—not just financial planning.
5. “I Want to Be More Generous” → Create a Charitable Giving Strategy That Works
Whether giving brings you joy, tax benefits, or both—make 2026 the year you give with purpose.
✅ Determine causes aligned with your values
✅ Consider donor-advised funds or family foundations
✅ Maximize tax benefits under new OBBBA provisions
✅ Involve family members in the giving process
Resolution in action: Establish a giving plan that supports both your community and your financial strategy.
