Americans believe it’s important to have a will, but less than half have one. Not only do many Americans lack a basic will, they often lack very important legal documents. On part two of this series, Don will discuss how his family handles these documents and the process of getting his children updated.

The Show:
On our last podcast, we began a two-part series on why legal documents are a key part of your retirement plan. Even though most of us know this, we usually put off a meeting with an attorney to sort out our estate and put a will in place.
We all get busy, but that’s no excuse to be unprepared. Should something happen to you, your family will rely on those legal documents to ensure every asset gets to its intended destination. The only want to make sure that takes place is to create your will, assign your power of attorney, determine your beneficiaries and then keep everything updated as life progresses and changes happen.
On this episode of Your Money & Your Life, we’ll move to part two of this series. Don Cash will share his personal experiences with the process. He and his wife recently updated their documents and there were changes that needed to be made. We’ll discuss those but also talk about the process of getting his adult children to create legal documents as well.
It’s difficult to have these conversations and consider these scenarios but we want to help you take the next steps with these episodes. Listen to the entire show above or click the timestamps below to skip ahead to a specific segment.
