Don’t let money become a distraction or additional stressor this time of year. Make your plans now and free your mind for the things that matter most.
When you contemplate death, many things that seemed important two hours ago begin to drift away and you have this moment of clarity about what really matters. It provides a high-level perspective on life and your focus narrows on those you love.
If you have a will or trust, you determine before your death to whom your assets will be distributed, and in what proportions. This gives the owner the power to determine who receives their assets, and in what amount. But what happens when you don’t have a will or trust when you die?
It makes sense to prepare for a time when you are no longer living, yet your assets continue on.
