Your estate is your world. It is everything you own and control. Planning your estate involves learning about you, your world, and the people who are important to you.
Estate planning starts with lifetime planning: ensuring your control of your property while you are alive and well. It also means thinking now about what might happen when you are alive and no longer well, as well as about what might happen when you are no longer alive. This is hard to think about, I know. But the time to think about it is now.
Builders don’t generally work on the walls and roof of a house while it is raining or cold. They build while the sun is shining, so that there will be shelter later – when it is needed.
Estate planning is like building a house. The time to work on it is now, when there is no emergency.
The first step is usually to attend a free Seminar, to find out about what an estate plan can do for you. If you are married, or share your life with someone, both partners should attend the Seminar.
