"Every adult can benefit from having a living will.
Regardless of your age or health, in the event that you become incapacitated,
you want your wishes carried out, including your medical directives. Many of us
get a deep sense of satisfaction from knowing that we are in control of our
lives and our finances.
And it has brought comfort to many knowing that what happens
to them in illness and death is also largely in their control.
Whatever your financial situation, it's likely that you
wouldn't gladly give control of your assets to a probate court judge bound by
the state's rules of succession rather than personally choose how and to whom
your estate is divided after your passing. Even if you have a will, if it's not
well-executed, your estate could be held up in probate for a long time, and
much of what you left to your beneficiaries could be eroded by taxes and
judicial proceedings.
Estate planning can actually be a wonderful experience,
knowing that you are leaving behind something of value that can make a
difference in your loved ones' lives, simply because you took the time to plan
it out."
