5 Reasons People Don’t Execute an Estate Plan

5 Reasons People Don’t Execute a Nevada Estate Plan

1. I don’t plan on dying anytime soon. None of us do. However, having a Nevada estate plan is about planning for the unexpected.

2. I don’t know where to begin. That’s easy. Our Estate Planning questionnaire asks the key questions that need to be answered when considering how to handle your financial and medical decisions if you’re unable to do so. It will also assist you in considering how you want your assets to be distributed in the event of an untimely death.

3. Procrastination has worked for me so far. I get it, but “living in the moment” has a serious downside. You will find there is great satisfaction knowing you have provided for your loved ones in the event of your untimely passing.

4. I don’t have the time. Really? Filling out our questionnaire should take less than one-half hour and our initial discussion regarding a simple will can be completed in one phone call!

5. I can’t afford it. It sounds cliche – but you can’t afford not to have an estate plan. In the event of your incapacity, guardianship procedures are time consuming and extremely costly. Moreover, court battles over your estate when you haven’t clearly articulated your desires can be exorbitant.
