Night of the Living Dead

October 29, 2024

With Halloween almost upon us, many people enjoy a good zombie flick. Not me. I had nightmares after watching the 1968 classic night of the Living Dead in high school. Fortunately, zombies aren't real--but post-death terror is still very common. Lack of planning, or poor planning, leads to uncertainty, long court procedures, and possibly even the revival of family friction that you had hoped was long dead. Even when your family gets along, probate will drain your estate like a vampire to pay for fees and court costs. It can take a year after someone has died to finally lay their estate to rest--and that assumes everyone gets along and there are no creditors haunting your estate.

A properly assembled estate plan is valuable because it allows your family to have clarity about your wishes and to avoid probate courts. Rather than having to shamble through a long probate process, they can focus on recovery. Instead of being haunted by uncertainty, your family can lay you to rest and grieve in peace.

Tree Ring Legal can help guide you through estate planning, letting you put a plan in place that will continue on even after you are gone. Don't be haunted by uncertainty, call today for a free consultation. I promise... I don't bite!
