Look for an upcoming article in the New Hampshire Magazine titled “Don’t put off writing down your last words.”
As the article explains, most Americans do not even have a basic will.
One reason given is that younger people tend to think that they have plenty of time to do their estate planning later. Even many young parents do this.
Against this backdrop, the article explains in detail why this is a bad idea.
In short, you can never know when you will pass away. You cannot know whether or not you really do have time to make your estate plan later.
Instead of putting things off, visit an estate planning attorney as soon as possible.
A properly prepared estate plan is the only way to ensure that your last words are ones you want to leave behind.
