NEWLY UPDATED 2023 EDITION
If you're over 55, you probably know you need an estate plan. What you might not know is how to create one. Questions about cost, confusion about options, and difficulty talking about subjects like disability and death can make the process of preparing for the future seem overwhelming. That's probably why most people put it off-even though the results of doing nothing can sometimes be devastating.
What you need is a guide that explains the process clearly and comprehensively, in terms you can understand and actually use.
Get Your Ducks in a Row: The Baby Boomers Guide to Estate Planning
