ESTATE PLANNING - What is your Life Status?

You love your family. You want to ensure things are as easy as possible for them, if and when something happens to you.

 You have the primary responsibility for ensuring the well-being and care of your children.  You want to ensure you’ve made the decision about who cares for them, and how. 

 You want your spouse making decisions for you if you are incapacitated, and you want to make sure your assets go to your spouse when you die, and then to your children after your spouse is gone. 

 You don’t have children, but you do have a spouse, partner, or other loved ones, and you want to ensure things are as easy for them as possible if and when something happens to you.

If you are in a second (or third or more) marriage, and you have children from a prior marriage

 In so many ways, estate planning is the very most important for you when you are not married, but have a life partner in your life.
