Do You Have a Will? Is it Updated?
If you passed away today, would your property go to the people and charities for whom you want to provide and in the manner you would like to provide? Do you have peace of mind that your plans are in order?
Despite the importance of having a will or trust, many people never get around to drafting one. For those who do have a will, it was likely drawn up many years ago and has not been looked at since. Make-A-Will Month is a great time to create or review your will.
