I am not a lawyer, but my legal advise to you is that you need a will. \u00a0Everyone needs a will and even those who do not think they need a will – need a will. \u00a0I am convinced that most people avoid the thought of a writing a will because they 1) feel nothing will happen to them soon, or 2) because they just do not want to think about death. \u00a0Either way, you need a will.<\/p>\n
Today I was in a meeting and the presenter shared a true case that has just recently occurred. \u00a0He shared how a mother gave birth to a son and the father was quickly convicted of a drug offense and sent to jail for a long time. \u00a0At no time did the father have any interaction with his son and in no way did he give financial support. \u00a0While he was in prison, the mom and the son were involved in a terrible car accident.<\/p>\n
The mom died instantly or very shortly after the accident. \u00a0The son lived for another twelve hours or so before he then died. \u00a0The father was still in prison.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the mother had a will. \u00a0In that will, she left all she had to her son who survived her for some twelve hours before he passed. \u00a0Since the son did not have a will, and under that state’s laws, the entire estate and monies won as a result of the mothers accident was awarded to the father. \u00a0It was told that there were millions of dollars – and they all went to the father, a convicted drug felon, sitting in jail. \u00a0I am quite sure that the mother nor the son wanted that to happen.<\/p>\n
Everyone needs a will – and that includes you. \u00a0The will that mother had was a simple will put together by a computer or off the internet. \u00a0Are they sufficient, yes. \u00a0Are they “air tight”, maybe not.<\/p>\n
