Does one plan to die early?
Of course no one in his/her right sense of mind would ever plan to die early?
But tragedies like September 11 and tsunami have awakened us to face reality that we can 'go off ' anytime from anywhere! It is something that is beyond our control! Thus it is only normal in such situations when we are forced to think about unexpected death.
Do you assume that your assets will automatically go to your loved ones when you pass on?
You better not because when a person dies without writing a Will, your loved ones might go through Hell while you are in Heaven. How?
- your loved ones face more hassle, stress, time and money to distribute your assets:
- longer process of distribution of the estates, the higher fees will be charged by lawyers, may take 6 to 12 years or more, to complete the process
- hassle of finding 2 trustworthy guarantors
- all your assets will be frozen, face cash flow problems, desperate to pay bills? what if your spouse is unemployed? or what if both parent died together leaving behind only young children?
- your children might be taken care off by someone/various relatives that are not of your choice.
- what if someone you don’t like, might take possession of your assets through family feuds ?
- the possibility of your assets being mishandled
So, do not hesitate to write a Last Will and Testament now, it is no longer a taboo but it's a wake up call to :
Ensure the person you intend to benefit inherit from your estate
So what are you waiting for? Just designate a day for a little unpleasantness can help relieve many days of heartache for loved-ones in the future.
