Estate planning prevents trouble and safeguards families in difficult times
“Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.” ― George Washington
The effects of worry on our lives can be devastating. Oftentimes, we have worry in our lives because of things that are out of our control. Worry is when we allow ourself to dwell on difficulty 0r trouble. For those unexpected things that we cannot control, trouble will come and we must simply accept it and try to move on so that we do not give in to the impulse to dwell, but the trouble will come.
Fortunately, not all trouble is unavoidable. We, as humans, accept a certain amount of trouble in our lives when we choose not to acknowledge the potential for a problem down the road by making a plan. When we fail to plan, we invite worry into our lives and that is too bad because a touch of planning now would prevent a ton of trouble later.
Have you seen a family in a bind because of a lack of planning? Families can be overcome with disputes amongst siblings about what to do with Mom's property, or how to handle Dad's healthcare. When a family begins to fight about who should get what or who's in charge of Mom or Dad's medical care, relationships can be strained, or worse, lost forever. Don't let this be your family's future. Don't borrow trouble, folks. The cost of not planning is more worry than anyone deserves.
A simple set of documents can settle all of these important matters before they become a source of family turmoil. With a moderate investment in the planning documents you need, your family will never have to pay that interest of worry that so many families unnecessarily pay due to a lack of planning.\
Make a plan because trouble has a much higher cost than the right set of planning documents.
