Keep a Resolution For Your Loved Ones

At the end of each year, you reaffirm what you know you need to accomplish by making a resolution for the new year. Then you get busy doing other things. But don’t worry, there are some things, like estate planning, that you can put off forever and you don’t have to suffer the consequences!

Procrastinating on your estate plan will result in your family spending large amounts of your hard-earned money and a good bit of their mental sanity, to take care of you if you become disabled. However, it won’t bother you; you’re incapacitated! If your affairs are complete chaos after your death, and as a result your children fight over how to handle them and never speak to each other again, it won’t bother you; you’re dead! If large amounts of your estate are spent on unnecessary fees and costs after your death, it won’t bother you; you’re dead! If you wanted your children to share equally in your estate, but instead a large portion went to only one child, it won’t bother you; you’re dead!

But…if these things concern you now, why are you resolving to worry about them for another year? Do something about it!

We are confident that taking the time to do your estate planning won’t make you die any sooner, and we are confident it won’t make you live any longer. But we do know for certain that a professionally designed, implemented, and maintained estate plan will make life a lot easier on your family, both emotionally and financially. Instead of making an empty resolution for the new year, take the action necessary to get your estate plan in order.

If you are not sure how to get started with the process, we encourage you to get some education around the subject.If you would like to learn more about available estate planning options, visit: www.EstatePlansThatWork.com to sign up for a complimentary small group educational workshop.
