WHY SHOULD I DO AN ESTATE PLAN?
Sometimes, people avoid establishing an estate plan and the reasons for the delay may be numerous. Often times, people think that they do not need an estate plan because they are not wealthy, or don't have an estate. As discussed above, this is a common misconception and is simply untrue. Another common reason why some people fail to establish an estate plan is because they do not want to contemplate their own death or incompetency. While these subjects are very difficult, they are necessary to discuss and plan for. The problem is: if you do not establish what your desires are for after you die, or become unable to make these decisions, how can you expect that your loved ones will know and follow your wishes? A proper estate plan can give you comfort in knowing that your wishes will be carried out - whether that decision involves who you want to inherit your house, who you want to have your jewelry (or painting, or china set...), and whether you want to be kept alive by artificial means should you fall into a coma, or be involved in an accident. An estate plan can also direct who you would like to care for your minor children in the even of your death. It can also ensure that your children are cared for as you desire.
