3 LIES PEOPLE TELL THEMSELVES ABOUT ESTATE PLANNING
‘I CAN JUST MAKE MY ESTATE PLAN MYSELF.’ While wills and trusts in their basic form are simple to create, the cost of doing it wrong could greatly exceed the money you save from not having an experienced attorney help you through the process. Incomplete or flawed plans can result out-of-pocket legal fees later on that no grieving family should have to deal with. You need an estate planning attorney to make sure that doesn’t happen. Call Obiorah Fields at (404) 994-6218 to get started on your estate plan today!
Estate planning is a complex process with a complicated set of laws surrounding it. It only makes sense that misconceptions about the estate planning process abound. While this list is far from exhaustive, these three myths about estate planning are among the most common. Here’s why you shouldn’t believe them. ‘I’M TOO YOUNG TO HAVE AN ESTATE PLAN.’ There is no benchmark age for you to start thinking about creating an estate plan. Even young adults in their 20s who have few valuable possessions, no spouse, and no kids need to have some idea of how they want their assets distributed should the unthinkable happen. It can be hard to get over the mental hurdle of pondering your own mortality at a young age, but having a professionally crafted estate plan could save your family a lot of unnecessary heartache. ‘I’M NOT WEALTHY ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ESTATE PLAN.’ When many people think of someone who has an estate plan, they think of someone whose kids are in European boarding schools and who “summers” in Thailand. The reality is that if you have a home, a car, a family, or some combination of those assets, you have an estate, and therefore, you can benefit from having an estate plan. They’re still invaluable tools for naming guardians for your children, passing off assets to heirs and expressing your final wishes.
