1. Because your family needs you to finally get it done.
Estate planning is not just about you. Or even mostly about you. It’s really about your family. Proper estate planning is a gift we give our loved ones. It’s a service we provide them. Most of us would do anything we could to ease our spouse’s or children’s distress or burden at the time of our passing. Estate planning is something you can do for them. Losing a spouse or a parent is a terrible event whether the deceased spouse or parent left behind a well-planned estate or not. But the person with a well-planned estate avoids making the terrible situation even worse and has the opportunity to make it better. Get your estate planning done. Do it for yourself, certainly. But most of all, do it for the people you love.
