Like many people, you may be uneasy about going to a lawyer to talk about this subject. Yet, a lawyer who specializes in estate planning knows the right questions to ask and the best ways to help you accomplish your goals. These professionals are well trained and normally well worth the time and expense they require. Creating a plan for your assets through the preparation of your will is too important to delay. Your family will appreciate it. The charities you support will appreciate it. And you will appreciate the peace of mind you get from fulfilling one of your most important stewardship responsibilities. A properly drafted will is the only way to provide an orderly and timely plan for the settlement of your life. What you do today can make a difference to your own wellbeing, to the future of the people you care about, and to the charities that you support. The value of having an estate plan can be measured in peace of mind, as well as in dollars. Do the best job you can today, knowing that additions or revisions to your will can be made in years to come.
