Passing on without a living will in place can mean that your wishes, upon death, might never be followed. A living will is a document that contains your written wishes for your belongings, legacy, property and more. Without one, your survivors might face an intense, time-consuming legal process that could cost far more than you ever expected.
It's much more cost efficient for your family and loved ones for you to hire an estate planning attorney in Raleigh NC who can help you plan and create a will.
We never know what might happen in life. We could live to a very old age or pass on in an early untimely death that left you no time to plan your estate beforehand. That's why it's important to make sure a living will is in place, well in advance. There's never a better time to estate plan. Making sure it's done now, is the only way to make sure you have a valid will in place, should it be needed.
Even more, did you know that close friends or charities that are near to your heart might never be included in the probate process or receive any of your estate, even if you might have left them with something, otherwise? If there are no surviving relatives, your estate may go to the state in which you live or the local government.
This is why estate planning is a very important part of life. You should be in charge of dividing your assets among your loved ones. It’s important to make sure you’re able to leave your surviving loved ones, charities and other individuals with the assets you wish them to have when you pass.
