The statement “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” was reportedly coined by Benjamin Franklin in 1731. In the area of estate and end-of-life planning, this principle often is proven true. However, there are cases where there is no cure for lack of planning. Planning will not take the sting out of death. However, it can make the pain more bearable for surviving loved ones. Among the benefits of planning are peace of mind, family protection, avoidance of family disputes, as well as the avoidance of costly and time-consuming court proceedings. If you have not planned for the protection of your family, I recommend that you contact me and schedule a time for a review of your needs. We can be reached at 870-904-5666.
