When I purchase a piece of furniture from Ikea and I don't follow the directions I almost always end up with an extra screw. Can you imagine what would happen to your loved ones if you did not leave specific instructions?
In my experience I see people putting off planning for next year, and when next year comes they put it off for -- you guessed it -- another year.
The only time to get it done is NOW.
Even the wealthiest individuals have made estate planning blunders. The estate of James Brown is going to be contested for years to come by various people because he left none or in some cases conflicting instructions.
You need to have a will that gives instructions for when you pass away. You also need to have a living will with directions on what to do when you become incapacitated.
Then your loved ones will be able to follow your wishes, instead of guessing or fighting about them. And there won't be any extra screws.
