3 ways Estate Planning says "I LOVE YOU"

#1 - MAKING THE DECISIONS AHEAD OF TIME TAKES AWAY THE STRESS

Estate Planning allows you to make all the difficult and important decisions before they ever need to be made! As you create your estate plan you can:

• Indicate when, where and how you want your assets to be distributed.
• Make all your healthcare wishes known.
• Legally identify the people you would like to make medical and financial decisions for you.

Making these decisions ahead of time saves your loved ones from the stress and strain of having to make them during times of uncertainty or grief.

#2 - MINIMIZE FAMILY CONFLICT

You can limit the chance of argument and frustration between loved ones by putting your decisions in your estate plan and selecting the decision makers ahead of time. 

We often (unfortunately) hear horror stories of ruined family relationships after a loved ones passes. You can truly minimize or avoid any family problems with a properly created (and funded) estate plan.

One book we really like is: "DON'T LET THE STUFF YOU LEAVE BEHIND DESTROY YOUR FAMILY" You can find it on Amazon. Here is the description: "Yes, estate planning is an awkward thing to think about, but one you have an obligation to do. Don't Let the Stuff You Leave Behind Destroy Your Family creates a plan so that everything you've worked to achieve over your lifetime doesn't become the ruin of your family."

#3 - GIVE YOUR LOVED ONES PEACE OF MIND

Letting your loved ones know that there is a plan in place for everything from your healthcare wishes to distributing your assets will provide them with priceless peace of mind. Giving them peace of mind when they need it the very most is a wonderful way to say "I love you".
