Estate Planning: Three Reasons We Run the Other Way

We understand that many people want to postpone the conversation about estate planning. It isn’t fun to think about incapacity and death and most people want to avoid meeting with attorneys. However, a thoughtfully designed estate plan protects you, protects your loved ones, and allows you to leave your hard-earned assets to the people you choose, whether that is $10,000 or $10 million dollars.

Don’t let these common roadblocks stop you from planning for your and your family’s future success.

1. Who Wants to Talk About Death? Discussions of death, dying, and illness – money and family – will and trusts – make many folks uncomfortable. Of course, that’s normal.  But, don’t let a few minutes of feeling uncomfortable stop you from taking care of yourself and your loved ones.  When the process is over, the discomfort will be replaced with peace of mind.

2. This Isn’t a Good Time. Everyone is busy. We understand that, but there’s never going to be a better time. Don’t postpone. Don’t tempt fate. Call our office, get on the calendar, and get it done.  We will do our best to accommodate your schedule and honor your time through our efficient and convenient legal processes.  If money is your main concern, you might find that estate planning is more affordable than you imagined.  Many law firms, such as ours, also offer flexible payment plans.

3. I Don’t Get It. Estate planning is documented in legal papers; finances are discussed; the law is analyzed.
