What Happens If You Don’t Have An Estate Plan?
NO CONTROL
Suddenly “other people” will decide your fate if you become disabled or lose your mental faculties. You’ll lose control of your assets and your medical care decisions.
COSTLY PROBATE
Your children might suffer the emotional distress of probate court: the endless delays; the expensive costs; only to be dragged into court and have their lives become public record.
NO INHERITANCE
Your children might be left with pennies on the dollar because of expensive probate costs and litigation with family members who want a piece of your money.
