You've thought about it ... but done nothing
Is your personal estate plan on your to-do list but it never
quite reaches the top?
It may not be pleasant to think about your death, and even less
so to think about the death of your loved ones. Is this why you
haven't done anything?
But what if you survive your partner or loved ones? Ask
yourself: what has your partner done or not done to prepare and to
put you in a position of security and confidence? Your
procrastination is one thing, but another's may affect you
personally.
Research puts the number of people who die without a Will as
high as 60% and of those who believe they have one, many don't
know where it is.
