Suggested New Year’s Resolution from a Lawyer: Get or Update Your Estate Plan

We all lead hectic lives.  We sometimes put off important things like creating a will and/or updating our existing plan.  The fact is none of us really know when we might become disabled or die.  One of the best and most responsible things you can do for your family and loved ones is have a proper estate plan in place.  You should designate a guardian for any minor children.  Choose someone you trust to handle your affairs when you are no longer able to do so.  Decide which people and charitable organizations are more important to you and make sure that your assets are distributed to them the way that you prefer.  The beginning of a new year is as good a time as any to create a new estate plan.  To get started, fill out the attached and return it to us.  Upon receipt and review, we will be in touch.  Don’t procrastinate any longer!
