As our future remains uncertain, what we do in the present can and will prepare ourselves and our families for life’s unexpected twists and turns. It is exactly the hardest times in an individual’s and family’s life when proper estate planning will help assuage the burdens and difficulties that accompany death, disability, or incapacity.
