Four Ways an Estate Plan Creates Peace of Mind

Dennis D. Duffy · May 14, 2012 ·

Estate planning has a slew of benefits, but what clients (and their families) find really valuable is peace of mind. Peace of mind promotes family relationships, health, and positive communication. Here are the 4 ways an estate plan creates peace of mind.

1. Blended Families

When your second (or third) spouse and children from previous relationships all know that youve done estate planning and that theyre protected, relationships can be fostered.

2. Long Term Care Covered

If youve planned ahead and have arrangements to pay for your long term care through Medicaid, private pay, or long term care insurance, both you and your loved ones will have peace of mind, knowing that they dont have to decide between your care and financial ruin.

3. Your Wishes are Documented

When you have an up-to-date, comprehensive estate plan, your wishes are documented; both you and your loved ones have peace of mind. There is no fighting over what you would have wanted regarding a living Will, organ donation, final arrangements, trust helper roles, and asset distribution.

4. Beneficiaries Protected

You and your loved ones will sleep better at night, knowing that your beneficiaries and their inheritances are protected from addictions, spendthrift behavior, bad decisions, divorce, bankruptcy, lawsuit, malpractice claims, second spouses, and medical crisis.
