Hi All,
Welcome to another year and while we are a decent portion of the way through the month of January...the beginning of the year is definitely here!
And the beginning of the year is a great time to get your affairs in order. There was an interesting article in the New York Times on Friday, January 11th. The title of the article is 'A Shocking Death, A Financial Lesson and Help For Others. Click on this link to read the article.
Basically the article talks about the need for adults to prepared for the untimely death of a spouse or a loved one. This actually happened to the author and, as a result of the untimely death of her spouse, she created a website called 'Get Your S--- together'. Click here for the link to the site.
Now while there are many, many websites on the web that purport to help you with various aspects of wills, trusts, estates and financial planning...here are a few of the better, less biased website available. Note that some of these sites might possible charge for the service(s) that they are providing....
Wills
Nolo Press - Online Will
Wall Street Journal - Before Its Too Late - A Test of Online Wills - caveat: done in 2009.
Legacy Writer - Free Online Wills
Bankrate.com - Do-It-Yourself Wills Online
Along the way you might consider creating a trust....Hopefully you won't need these sites, but better safe than sorry.
Regards,
Stu
