The benefits of having an estate plan in place should be obvious but National Estate Planning Awareness Week could be the perfect time to learn why.
The Wills, Trusts & Estates Prof Blog reports that National Estate Planning Awareness Week may be the appropriate time for you to learn about the estate planning process in its article “National Estate Planning Awareness Week: October 17-23.”
If you are one of those people who does not have an estate plan, then why not get one during estate planning awareness week?
With an estate plan you can say who gets your property after you pass away. An estate plan is the best way to make sure your family is taken care of after you pass away. An estate plan can help ensure your family is not unnecessarily burdened by estate taxes. And, an estate plan can make sure your end of life care is as you want it.
An even better idea would be not to wait for a special week.
An estate planning attorney can advise you in accomplishing the estate plan that fits your needs.
