If you answered no, you are not alone. Seventy percent of Americans do not have an estate plan. We all should consider one. There are several reasons people wait:
Denial: We don’t like to think about our own mortality, so we don’t prepare for it.
Financial: We don’t want to think about planning, and we sure don’t want to have to pay for it!
Confusion: It seems like a daunting task and we aren’t really sure how to get started.
We can help you get your estate plan done or updated. Contact Karen Van De Putte at (727) 523-3422 or KarenVanDePutte@EmpathHealth.org to request our Guide to your Estate Plan booklet.
