Have You Made a Will?

Although you probably don’t want to think about what will happen after you’re gone, especially in regard to laying out all of your belongings and investments, you really need to prepare for it.  Leaving your family to get your affairs in order without some kind of roadmap will lead to confusion and frustration at the worst possible time. By having a will in place, you will make life easier for everyone.

Leave Things the Way You Want Them

If you don’t have a will, the court system will decide what’s best, which usually means dividing up your assets among your spouse, children, or parents in that priority order.

Do you really want the state to decide what’s best? There’s so much more to be concerned about during this time, and you want your family to be able to console each other and come together, not fight about your possessions and investments.

Your true desires for how you want everything divided up can be accomplished with a will.

Avoid Family Drama

Your loved ones will have enough pain and grief to deal with when you’re gone. Don’t make it worse by leaving them in limbo without a will to express your wishes.
