Putting Off Till Tomorrow
Daily living – from dawn to way past dark – is so demanding that we often give little thought to the future. Did you know that that on average, a person
- Works more than 40 years to accumulate worldly wealth
- Spends 10 years trying to hold onto what has been earned
- But does not even spend 2 hours planning how to distribute what is left behind
In fact, every year as many as 70-80% of adult Americans who die do so without letting their own voice be heard in the form of their personal Will. Why do so many fail to take advantage of all that a Will makes possible?
You might say, “we’re not dealing with a mansion, here!”
It’s true; many people look at a modest home and a few investments and think they aren’t enough to bother with the time and expense of a Will. This is often a costly assumption. Many folks who have lived in the same home for 30 or 40 years are shocked when they add it all up. So, even people of modest means can leave tax issues behind for loved ones to unravel.
This is just one example of why so many may postpone the creation of a Will. But no matter what the reason, a little time and thought today can result in significant savings and unnecessary emotional stress later. In addition, the creation of a personal Will is the way you give voice to your faith in the Lord, your hopes for your family, and the values you wish to leave behind. It gives lasting voice to your legacy . . . a voice that can echo for Eternity.
