Imagine Leaving Your Family Grieving, Scared, and Not Knowing Where to Turn
If the inevitible happened, your family will be grieving and distraught. That isn’t the time to try to sort out your affairs, or interview lawyers and financial advisors.
Protect your family by planning now when it’s easy. Let them know that you cared enough about them to be sure they were safe and secure.
Intestacy - A Family's Nightmare
Are you putting off meeting with an attorney because you know that your spouse will inherit everything if you pass? That’s one of the most common reasons we hear in our practice. The problem is it’s simply not true. If you pass away without a valid will or trust in place, your spouse will not inherit everything. He or she will get a share, but the rest will be distributed pursuant to State law.
I’ve comforted too many widows to count. Please don’t leave your spouse in that position. Learn the facts. Protect your family, and make sure you leave the assets you’ve accumulated to the people you want to receive them. Don’t let the State of Connecticut make those decisions for you.
Can You Imagine Being Locked Out Of Your Own Home?
If you are in a second marriage, it’s even more important that you write down your wishes properly. The children from the first marriage that may tolerate your 2nd (or 3rd) spouse while you are alive, may be less accommodating in the event of your death. Can you imagine coming home and finding out your spouse’s children have changed the locks on the home you’ve shared? Please don’t let this happen to you.
Protect your loved ones by making sure your wishes are known. Hire a lawyer to be sure your wishes are written in a way that will be upheld by the Probate Court and honored by your family. You have the power to minimize family conflict and estrangement by simply calling an attorney.
