To most people, having an estate plan or will is more like a death wish. Even when someone tells them about it, they reject it and even cast the person away, accusing them of wishing them death but that isn’t the case, and even researches have proven that people who have an estate plan live longer than those who don’t have. An estate plan is a well documented statement of how an individual wants his property, wealth, belongings to be shared to his family members when he dies.
We’ve heard issues of young rich guys dying at the age of 30, even some die in their early twenties which with the orientation that an estate plan is for people who are old and almost dying, they would have neglected the call to do it, at the end of the day, their belongings become transferred to the states or family members start battling each other over it.
We work a lot, we struggle a lot, wake up 5am just to be at work and return home 11pm, all in the name of making money, providing for the needs of your family, building your own house, buying fleet of cars but at the end of it all, You will die, everyone will die, how then do you want your after-life look like, would it be nice if all you have worked for becomes occupied by someone who never knew about your struggles or someone who doesn’t deserve to benefit from it, If married, Your wife and kids might even suffer for it in a case where you didn’t have an estate plan or a will, the belongings might end up being snatched from them and you are to be blamed and might not Rest in Peace!
Today, a lot of cases are still in court over possession of properties of a dead family member, some for 10 years, even up to 40 years simply because an estate plan wasn’t made before the deceased left, leaving family members to be in serious war over the properties, In order to avoid all this, An estate Plan or will needs to be done NOW, with the right people in charge.
