If you have kids, you should already have a will or trust. No excuses.
Having kids or a new baby on the way adds a lot to someone’s to-do list. Getting a will or trust done should always be on top.
Sure, it’s easy to push it off but the hard truth is: (1) we don’t know if or when anything will happen to us (translation: when we’re going to die) and (2) leaving our children’s future in the hands of the state is never a good idea.
Contrary to common belief, wills & trusts are not just for the wealthy. It’s true that it’s best to get a lawyer to prepare one for you and that lawyers can be expensive, that’s not your only option now.
Here is a quick summary of your options, costs, and other considerations when getting a will or trust done.
