For many of us, estate planning is not at the forefront of our thoughts because we are so busy working, spending time with our families and other loved ones, attending class, doing homework, maintaining our homes, and the other “stuff” of life. On top of that, estate planning forces us to deal with our own mortality and most of us would rather have a root canal rather than thinking about those things.
However, as recent events have demonstrated, estate planning is a critical component of our overall planning. And, more than ever, now is the time to prioritize your estate plan.
