Spring has Sprung?
While the first day of Spring has passed, Mother Nature is still teasing us with just glimpses, hints, even some promise of the wonderful freshness and alive-ness that hangs just beyond our range of view. We know it's there, we know it's coming, but we don't know how it will arrive. Will it come in just as we hope and plan for as beautiful rainbows and colorful flowers, or will it roar in like thunder and shake our earth?
Like Spring, circumstances in our lives have a way of showing up in their own time and beyond our control. The article below discusses why it is so important to not only consider your DEATH when making an estate plan, but consider your LIFE and how important it can be for your desires to be clearly identified and your agents assigned and empowered should mental incapacity strike. Is now the right time for action? Contact me for a free consultation.
