13 Reasons to Avoid Estate Planning
- What do I care, I’ll be dead anyway. Someone else can sort it when I’m gone.
- I already have a Will. Why would I want to change it?
- I can do it myself with one of those kits they sell in the bookstore.
- I’m busy right. I’ll do it later.
- All my accounts are joint so it isn’t relevant.
- Estate planning is the same as making a Will, and I have a Will already.
- My situation is simple – there isn’t much to think about.
- If I don’t have a Will when I die, the government steps in and my spouse gets it all automatically, right?
- Lawyers and accountants are way too expensive.
- It’s not like anything bad is going to happen.
- Being an Attorney or Estate Trustee is no big deal so it doesn’t matter who I pick.
- Why should I tell my family anything about my affairs?
- I hate life insurance.
