Everything you are and everything you ever hoped to do can change in an instant. Please do not wait for the probate courts to settle your affairs. The best thing you can do is to consult an Attorney and set up a legal trust and wills to ensure that your assets and wishes will be carried out in the event you are unable to make your own decisions; It could be catastrophic injury, Illness, or Accident that will change your destiny in an instant. Your family and your estate are too valuable to be left to the whims of our legal system. It is expensive, and can end up with very little or nothing left for your loved ones.
