Getting started: Please do not think your Will has to be a “be all end all” document My clients sometimes hesitate to begin drafting… concerned that they don’t have all the answers.
* “Will their current choice of guardian be equally as good in five or ten years?”
* “What if their parents need financial assistance as they get older?”
* What if they move, buy more life insurance or have additional children?”
Please always remember that a Will is something you create for right now—not for some nebulous time in the future—addressing your current assets (home, checking accounts, life insurance, retirement, etc), the children born today and anticipated in the future, current family dynamics and, for now, the wishes you have for raising your children. Next year, things can and probably will change. All you have to do at that point is revise your Will. And the best part is, once you’ve made your first Will, the next one becomes that much easier.
