Nobody ever wants to think about their own death. Nobody ever thinks that they will die at a young age. No one ever thinks that their children will be left parent-less.IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT!!
Who will be in charge of your estate? Who will inherit your property? If you have minor children, who will serve as the guardians for your children until they are adults?
Having lost 2 family members, that didn't have a last will and testament- I know exactly how important it is. I've seen what happens, and not all of it is good- add a bunch of grief to the whole mixture and it can make it so much worse! I wonder all the time what today would be like if they had a Will in place. Was/is their property being handled how they would have wanted it to be? Are their kids where they would have wanted them to be? Are they being raised the way they wanted them to be?
Another thing to think about is that in the state of Utah siblings have absolutely no rights. The only ones that have rights are the Grandparents. Since there was no will in place- legally between the grandparents it was pretty much a first come-first served basis. If you didn't have keys to the house, keys to the cars, instant access to the kids.. you could be out of luck! Is this how you want it to go out if you die?
Once again- Nobody wants to think about their own death. Nobody ever thinks that they will die at a young age. No one ever thinks that their children will be left parent-less.
PLAN and PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR ESTATE, and YOUR CHILDREN!
and if you do so... it will make it that much straight forward for the ones left behind....
