Having a Will is something that everyone should consider, especially if you want to have the power to determine how your assets will be distributed among your heirs.
For many people, the estate planning process provides an opportunity to answer important questions like who would I want making medical decisions for me if I were no longer able to?
Leaving families and loved ones to answer these questions at a moment of grief can be painful.
Estate planning is an opportunity to prepare in advance for both the unexpected and the inevitable.
