No one wants to think about dying and for some of us, death is a subject that we would rather not discuss. We believe that there is no hurry to consider the issue and that we have plenty of time left. However, this line of thinking about end-of-life matters can often result in delaying dong the mechanics of it until it is too late.
Your will is not merely a legal document. It is an expression of your wishes and it is also a way for us to continue providing for our loved ones even after we are gone. Even without a Will, there are default rules that will apply to distribute your estate. These rules are in most cases cast in stone and may not take into account the specific needs and circumstances of our chosen beneficiaries. Caring and loving our family should not stop with our death, we can easily create legal documents including a will that will ensure our wishes are carried out. A will is an easy way to look after our loved ones when we are gone.
The entire process can be overwhelming, it is important to have a board-certified estate planning attorney involved to ensure all aspects of the estate plan are followed.
