Pre-Planning:
We all have been exposed to, or know of, someone who has family members
who no longer speak to one another because of estate issues.
Pre-Planning a Funeral and Estate Planning are two subjects most people
don’t want to talk about or deal with. Most of us take great pains
during our lifetimes to plan for our wants and needs, such as: weddings,
vacations, children’s education, new homes and retirement, but we fail
to plan for our ultimate transition from this earth.
Effective planning is creating a blue print that carries out your wishes
and instructs others as to how you would like your property distributed
and handled during your life if you are incapacitated and after your
death. For some, a basic Will might be appropriate, while for others
more strategic planning might be required to effectively carry out the
person’s desires.
Planning is not only essential for the wealthy, it is important for
everyone. Taking an exam without studying, most people will fail, if an
athlete does not practice or train that athlete will not be very
successful. Preparation is the key.
