There’s no doubt it can feel challenging to get motivated about your estate plan. You might feel uncomfortable thinking, let alone talking, about death. Maybe you feel you just don’t have time to complete what you anticipate will be a long and stressful process. Or, the whole idea of an estate plan may just seem confusing. Even if you have one or all of these thoughts running through your mind, you also likely want to make sure your loved ones are protected and receive your hard-earned money and property if something happens to you.


These are some of the most common reasons people provide when asked why they still do not have an estate plan in place. Do not let these common roadblocks stop you from protecting yourself and your loved ones:



  1. “I don’t want to think or talk about death.” Discussions about death, dying, and illness - money and family - wills and trusts - make many people uncomfortable and even sad. Of course, that is normal. However, do not let a few minutes of feeling uncomfortable stop you from taking care of yourself and your loved ones. There’s nothing worse than realizing you need something, such as insurance, a doctor visit, or an estate plan, at a point where it’s just too late.




  1. “Now is not a good time.” We understand that everyone is busy but there will never be a better time to handle your estate plan. Life only seems to get busier as time goes on.
