The Best Resolution You Can Make: Estate Planning!

As we approach the beginning of a new year, you may be filled with the hope of a fresh start. And if you’re considering a New Year’s Resolution, we’ve got a great one for you: estate planning!

While this may seem like a strange resolution, we think putting all your affairs in order is a great way to begin 2017. Read on to find out why!

#1: Lasting Effects

While most New Year’s Resolutions fall by the wayside sometime in February (we’re looking at you, unused running shoes), estate planning will stick around for the rest of your life – and beyond! When you enlist the help of a professional attorney to properly plan your estate, you’re not just protecting your own future. You’re protecting the future of your loved ones, too.

#2: Wise Choices

When you plan your estate earlier in life as opposed to later, you’re more likely to make wise choices because you have time to think about them. Instead of being in a rush to choose the trustee of your child’s trust fund, you can carefully consider who would be best for the job. And instead of trying to quickly dole out your assets among your children, you can take the time to consider each child’s personality and tendencies before bequeathing them something that maybe should have gone to someone else.

#3: Peace of Mind

If you haven’t taken care of your estate planning yet, chances are you get a little tense every time you think about it. Why not go ahead and handle it so that you can rest? Give yourself the gift of peace this year by calling an estate planning attorney and starting a conversation about your estate. It’s one of the best New Year’s Resolutions you can make!
