According to the National Center for Health and Statistics, 2,420,000 people die every year in the United States. Roughly 40% of these are unexpected. Most people procrastinate making plans for their death, leaving it for old age, or terminal illness. Yet if left too late, the aftermath to your loved ones can be devastating. Coping with the emotional tension can compound the stress of taking care of your financial affairs through local courts. It is imperative that when you have children you make arrangements to protect them should a tragedy occur.
Funds may be frozen for months or years awaiting the court's decision regarding your assets. Estate taxes can quickly eradicate funds intended for your children or other loved ones. Division of possessions can irrevocably split family members. Why not instruct them how to take care of these matters?
How you want your estate and property divided upon your death are personal decisions best left up to you, the individual. Wills and Trusts represent unavoidable mortality and if you are like a lot of people, you tend to drag your heels when it comes to your own Will. When a person dies without a properly executed Will or Living Trust, the division of assets is left up to the state laws in which they were a resident. State laws can vary greatly and unless personal preferences are clearly spelled out in a Will or Trust, impersonal state laws dictate who gets what from the estate. If you choose to have an attorney execute a Will or Trust on your behalf, you can be assured that your own wishes are promoted and that ultimately it's simply the easiest thing to do for your heirs.
You don't have to be a millionaire to need a Will or to setup a Trust for the benefit of your family.
