Why is Estate Planning Important?
Approximately 55% of all Americans have no Will or basic estate planning documents. Although there are many reasons, cost and complexity are too often what prevents the most people from planning for their assets. Whenever someone passes away without a Will, their property passes according to their state's probate laws. Basically, this means the state decides how your hard earned possessions will be distributed when you pass away. Call me today to begin designing the perfect estate plan for you.
