“Your estate is your wealth—administer it, don’t abandon it.”
“Your estate is your wealth—administer it, don’t abandon it.” Every man and woman is born with an estate: the sum of your rights, your name, your property, your labor, and your capacity to create value. This estate is not just material — it is spiritual, legal, and equitable. To abandon it is to let others manage it, profit from it, and direct it while you remain unaware. Administration of your estate means conscious stewardship: knowing the difference between legal title and equitable ownership, asserting your right to contract (or not), and standing as the living administrator instead of leaving it to courts, creditors, or strangers. Equity teaches us that silence or neglect creates presumption — and presumption creates chains. When you step into the role of executor of your own estate, you shift from subject to sovereign, from passive to active. You can direct contracts, protect property, and ensure your labor is exchanged fairly. In law and equity, abandonment is dishonor; administration is honor. 🧭 Reflection for Students: Where in your life are you unconsciously letting another manage your estate — your credit, your contracts, your property, your rights? What action can you take today to reclaim administration and stand as the living owner of your wealth?
