Earlier this month I met with a client who shared the sad news that his father had passed away. Along with dealing with the emotional loss of a parent, he is now tasked with the distribution of his estate. The biggest issue being, locating his will.
The will is an important document. It allows the deceased person to provide directions after passing. Instructions include, but are not limited to, who will look after the distribution of assets, who gets what, who is responsible for caring for minors, etc.
Without such a document, there can be delays in settling the estate, not to mention misdirected assets.
