Estate Planning
You spend years—decades even—to provide for your family’s needs. You work hard to leave a proper legacy for your children and grandchildren. What a shame if all that was wasted or your family squabbled over who gets what and when if you were to die unexpectedly or were incapacitated. Give yourself peace of mind and prepare now to ensure your family will be properly taken care of upon your death. No one likes to think about the end of his/her life, but leave a legacy of love and thoughtfulness rather than discord and confusion amongst family members. A myth exists that only the elderly and wealthy need wills and trusts. Everyone needs a will or trust. That’s worth repeating. Everyone needs a will or trust to avoid unnecessary costs, delays—or worse—probate.
