National Estate Planning Week
October 20 - 26th is National Estate Planning Week. All too often I hear people say, "I'm not a Kennedy, I do not need an estate plan!" Nothing could be farther from the truth. As I've said over and over at estate planning seminars, everyone over age 18 should take the time to complete estate planning documents. The reason, one word, control. If you don't take the time to state your wishes you are leaving decisions open for a government official or court to decide. Take control and complete some basic forms. To me estate planning is 3 things: planning for illness, death and taxes. ...none of which anyone can avoid. Learn more about National Estate Planning Week at www.napec.org
