As a wills and estate planning lawyer, I've heard many opening lines from clients as they begin to share their stories and needs. One of the most common phrases I encounter is, "Our situation is simple..."
Firstly, it is important to understand that it is not just a question of producing documents. It is about crafting practical testamentary documents that suit your unique and particular needs/wishes that will help protect the future of your family and minimize the three “C’s” - conflict, confusion and costs. It is about organizing your affairs and documents so that your loved ones won’t have to in time-sensitive matters or grieving moments.
