Oh, it may sound a bit odd when they open up the Card- "Happy Holidays! Here's your Last Will and Testament!". Yet what better way to show how much you worry and care about their well being? It's a gift that ensures your loved one will be protected and provided for. In any emergency, at any stage of their life, your love will be right there with them- even if you can't be. In fact, legal documents like a Will, Powers of Attorney, and a Living Will aren't just a gift to an individual. They're a gift to a family.
To the recipient, it gives the gift of freedom- freedom to proactively take control of their future, to cut out fear and anxiety, and to protect and provide for their loved ones. To their family and friends, it gives the gift of knowing that the tough decisions have already been made, and the assurance that they themselves will be protected and provided for- no matter what the future may hold.
The true value of a Will-Based Estate Plan is simple: the freedom from fear. So start this New Year right- give the gift of love. It will only keep on giving.
