When someone hears the term “estate planning,” drafting a Will naturally comes to mind. While estate planning includes several tools including Power of Attorney documents, Trusts, and Healthcare Directives, a person’s Last Will and Testament remains a fundamental element of successful estate planning.
What are Wills?
The Will often serves as the foundation of effective estate planning and it’s critical to obtain competent legal help when drafting your Will. A will that is poorly drafted or does not dot every legal “i” and cross every legal “t” can be the cause of endless and needless trouble for your survivors.
Whipple Law Group Tip: Let someone know where you plan to keep your Will. A fireproof safe, located in a secure site, often serves for this purpose.
While a safe deposit seems like a practical place to keep your Will, this location can prove problematic. This is because storing your will in a safe deposit may make accessing it difficult.
Consider providing copies of your Will to your attorney and your executor, as well.
