Estate planning<\/a>, like politics and religion, is one of those topics people tend to avoid in polite conversation. There can be many reasons for this. Some people are superstitious and believe that making a will<\/a> or setting up a living trust will cause something terrible to happen to them. Others don\u2019t want to face uncomfortable family conflicts.<\/p>\n

In our practice, we\u2019ve talked to adult children whose parents won\u2019t talk about their estate. We\u2019ve also counseled parents whose adult children can\u2019t bear to start talking about what happens when their beloved parents are gone. However, it\u2019s incredibly important that everyone be on the same page about a loved one\u2019s wishes. We\u2019ve all read books or seen movies where the main conflict of the story comes from shady finagling over a relative\u2019s estate. Don\u2019t let your family play out that drama in real life.<\/p>\n

A Living Trust Can Make Things Easier on the Family<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re anxious to start talking about estate planning, but other family members aren\u2019t, there are some resources that might help you.<\/p>\n
