Are your children protected if you are not around tomorrow?
April 5, 2009 · Filed under Estate Planning
In recent news, actress Natasha Richardson died from a brain injury after a skiing accident. She and her husband, actor Liam Neeson had two sons, just 12 and 13 years old. While Natasha wasn’t superstar famous, but the story of her death touches us all who have young kids. Her passing from something as random as a minor fall on the gentlest of ski slopes was so shocking that we can’t help but wonder if there was a pre-existing condition that caused her death. But the results of her autopsy showed nothing. These things happen. It could have been any of us.
So many of us haven’t properly created a living will, or even a regular will with provisions for guardianship should your kids be left without either parent. Don’t let another day go by without making sure that your children are well taken care of should you not be around tomorrow.
If you have questions about how to set up a will and/or a living trust, contact us today for a complimentary consultation.
