Many people put off creating an estate plan because they feel healthy and assume there will be time to deal with it later, but unexpected health issues can arise at any age and without warning. A sudden illness or accident can leave you unable to make decisions for yourself, forcing loved ones to guess your wishes or seek court involvement during an already stressful time. A well-crafted estate plan ensures that trusted people can manage your finances, make medical decisions, and carry out your intentions if you are incapacitated or pass away. Planning ahead is not about predicting the worst — it’s about protecting yourself and your family from uncertainty and giving everyone clarity and peace of mind when it matters most.
