For many busy Americans, this yearly reminder is the motivation they need to sit down and create or update their last will and testament. Once they do, many find the process isn't as tedious as they anticipated. Here are a couple reasons to write your will this August.
Provide peace of mind to you and your family.
You may not think you own a lot, but you likely have more property than you realize. If you don't have a will, your loved ones will be tasked with finding a home for this property when you pass on. Creating a will prevents family conflict, eliminates confusion, and ensures your assets go where you want.
Create a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime.
None of us live forever. But there are ways to continue making a positive impact on this world long after you leave it. One way is by donating to a charity like LHM in your will. There are many ways you can use your will to benefit a charity giving cash, stock, real estate property, and more. Leaving a gift for a nonprofit in your will costs you nothing during your lifetime but ensures you make a positive impact on causes close to your heart for years to come.
