There’s no doubt that it’s hard for some people to talk about the process of estate planning. It can be difficult to approach your own mortality and to think about finally crossing this off your to do list. However, your process of sitting down and carrying out your estate planning isn’t necessarily just to protect your interests, it can also benefit your loved ones in the future. 
Estate Planning as Your Legacy
If you reconsidered your estate plan as a gift that you’re leaving behind to help cement your legacy, impart your values, and help support your loved ones in the future, you may feel more motivated to complete it.
By reframing estate planning as something beneficial for your loved ones and a gift you’re passing on into the future, you can make it much easier to take the necessary action steps for drafting your own estate plan.
Why Working with an Estate Planning Lawyer Matters
If you’ve ever been involved in the probate of an estate for a loved one or a friend who did not take the right estate planning steps, you know just how challenging this can be for family members. No one wants to leave the problem of untangling assets left behind or taking on a significant burden of a complex estate administration. Although procrastination is a leading reason why plenty of people haven’t completed their estate plan, others mistakenly believe they do not have enough assets to protect. You have the opportunity to grow and transfer wealth and also have peace of mind that your loved ones will not have to worry about additional legal challenges, like the time and expense of probate when you pass away.
