Choosing the Right Person to be the Executor of Your Estate

First and foremost, just because you have been named in someone's Will as the Executor of their Estate does not mean that you are automatically the Executor as soon as that person has died.

You cannot do that without the probate court's approval first. Read full article.

Stop Lying to Yourself - Get Your Will and Estate Plan Created Today

Everyday, in some way, each of us begins each new day by lying to ourselves that nothing "bad" will happen to us today. It's like its' part of our human nature. We know that people are involved in accidents every day that end their lives or incapacitate them; that's just it, we tell ourselves that it will happen to someone else - not us.
