Do You Know What Happens When You Die?

The answer to the title question is to have your estate plan in place to ensure that your wishes will be honored when you die.

Wishes with regards to end of life care, who gets what and how you want to leave a legacy can all be taken care of now.

Do you want to be known as that long lost great Aunt who didn't have a Will or Trust, but had her estate distributed amongst 20 nieces and nephews who were all surprised to get that check?

Do you want to be that young Mom that died before her time and didn't leave a Trust in place for her minor children?

Do you want to be that elderly man who inherited property from his brother but failed to transfer that property to his trust requiring probate to be opened all over again?

Do you want to be that Grandma that lovingly leaves a small bequest to each grandchild and the remainder of the estate in Trust for her only son?

Think about it and then consult with an estate planning attorney to do the following:

1. Figure out what happens when you die.
2. Make sure what you want to happen, happens when you die.
