Forbes Article Urges People to Plan

Forbes knows a thing or two about money. In a recent article, the magazine argues that EVERYONE should take the time to sit down and plan their estate. Five Highlights from the article:

1. Even if you don't have an "estate," you need a plan.

2. Estate planning is more than cash. It's making sure your kids don't end up as wards of the state.

3. Don't saddle your heirs with a job of taking care of your affairs after you've passed. Do the work for them.

4. Estate planning helps you think about your future. Your goals, dreams, things you want to facilitate for your heirs.

5. Estate planning also expresses certain medical decisions, in case you can't make them for yourself.

Take the time to call your attorney today to get your affairs in order.
