Life is so precious. You just never know when a tragedy will strike either you or your family. And while it pains me to hear about one of our clients passing away, I take solace in the fact that we were able to assist that client (and his or her family) with a plan that will help relieve some of the burden that is associated with the passing of a loved one.
It is never too soon nor too early to plan for incapacity or death. A well-drafted estate plan is like a detailed roadmap of how to arrive at a specific destination. And that roadmap provides much needed support to a grieving family member. That family member will not have to try to guess at how the decedent wanted things to be done – the estate plan will describe it. That family member will not have to choose sides when it comes to dividing the decedent’s assets – the estate plan will describe it.
For example, take a decision about whether or not you want to be buried or cremated when you pass away. Have you decided that yet? If so, have you communicated that desire to your family members? Many husbands and wives that I meet with have never discussed that before, and they are usually surprised by the decision of the other spouse! There is the natural desire to do what the decedent wants done every step of the way – and an estate plan can make that happen.
While it is not fun to plan the procedures and details of the events to take place after you pass away, the goal of an estate plan is to provide peace and assurance, not fear and despair. Please call and schedule your free consultation today to find out how a well-drafted estate plan can benefit you and your family, because you just never know…
