Week 26
Estate planning can be very simple or very complicated, depending on your situation. All of us, regardless of our situation should look at doing some estate planning. It may be as simple as writing up a will, or as complicated as getting with attorneys and figuring out multiple trusts and getting those trusts funded properly.
Regardless of where you are at financially, you need to make sure that what you have is going to go where you want, how you want, when you want, and to whom you want.
This will get you started.

To Do List

O - Print out your Estate Planning Sheet and place it in your organizer.
O - If you have an attorney contact them about establishing a Last Will and Testament and a Living Will.
