If you knew you could complete your entire estate plan this weekend, would you just get it done?
Everybody dies. We all know this. But the timing is utterly unpredictable. And sometimes it comes with little or no warning. It’s human nature to presume your death is a long way down the road, so, putting off formalizing your intentions seems reasonable. Especially if you believe that creating a plan is going to be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive.
But you’ve worked hard to create a good life for yourself and your loved ones. So why fall just short of securing their future after you are gone?
If you happen to die before your mortgage and/or your children’s education is paid off, do you want to ensure that there are funds to cover these things? Do you want to define who cares for and manages money for your minor children, or would you prefer to leave it to courts to make these decisions? What about helping avoid confusion and conflict as loved ones attempt to figure out how to manage without you? Would you prefer to leave all that to chance?
Estate planning is one of the most important things a person can do for loved ones. Getting your plan done NOW ensures it will be done when it needs to be.
