The latest issue of LawNow: Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way is available.
Carole Aippersbach states in Viewpoint – A Cautionary Tale:

Let’s face it, no one wants to think about what happens if the thing that does not work out is your entire life. Who likes to think about death, or, worse yet, the possibility of being completely incapacitated for the rest of your natural life?

But writing your will and planning your estate don’t necessarily have to be gloomy affairs. The latest issue of LawNow shows that it can be life-affirming to plan ahead for those you love. As Carole concludes, “don’t play the odds – have the back-up plan.”
