Imagine you just met someone new. The formalities of names, jobs and the like have been exchanged and you seem to be getting along famously. But before you know it, a few minutes pass – and it looks like you’re running out of clich?s!Now what?There comes a time in every conversation wit
Why do you need a will? Would you rather probate courts decide the fate of your children? The court decides where the kids are sent for foster care. That should be enough to scare you out of your shoes. The court will also decide what happens to your assets. Yes, all your stuff and money. So you may have money and a nice house, then its all gone and the kids are sent to the state home.
I know, it sounds harsh. So what can a will do for me?
First, a will can indicate where your assets and property go. You can also name a guardian for your children and their property. You can also name an executor to administer the will. This executor can be given powers and compensation for taking care of your estate.
But here’s the tricky part – a will can’t override anything with a named beneficiary. For example, your life insurance has a beneficiary that was established at the time you wrote the policy. Also, a will can’t nullify the terms of a trust you’ve established.
So what should you do? Inventory your assets that will pass through the will. Like checking accounts, CD’s, stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. These are called probate assets. Nonprobate assets would include things like your life insurance. These items have named beneficiaries.

1. Why should I not compete with others?The very concept of “competition” is fear based. Somehow you are telling yourself that you have to “beat” the competition, or “take” a certain share of the marketplace, or “win over” a certain person. In reality, there is no other exactly like you, and the

If you have children from your current marriage, then the decision would probably be very easy – give the items to your spouse. If you have kids from a previous marriage, plan carefully and list them as well as their relationship so the executor will have no questions and will hopefully limit anyone contesting the will.
