Estate planning. It's the thing we all know we "should" do but it isn't a priority, especially when you're chasing children around, working long hours, and just trying to...well, survive. Besides, who wants to think about death, anyway? Nothing will happen anytime soon, right? You have plenty of time to get your affairs in order!

Well, maybe, maybe not.

And here's the thing: when we really need a plan, it's often too late. That means:

We're already liable for estate taxes;
Our family is already headed into court and conflict; and
The people we'd never want caring for us if we can't care for ourselves have already been appointed by a judge.

I'm not trying to scare you. It happens every single day to people who slept on their planning.

Now here's the great news! None of these has to happen. You can decide if you're going to pay estate taxes (yes, for real!). You can decide if you want to minimize conflict in your family. And you can decide who cares for you if you can't care for yourself. The only caveat is that you have to plan now.

I help people just like you overcome procrastination to finally get their plans in place. Find out how I can help you, too.

Even 15 years after his death, Michael Jackson can still teach us things (other than how to do the "Thriller" dance in old music videos). We learn that a Will must go through probate, which can potentially be a conflict-laden, long, expensive, and public court process. But if you want your family to say "Beat It" to court, you can! My latest article spills the tea on how Michael Jackson's estate planning could have been smoother.
