Why Writing a Will Matters

The Missing Step in Financial Planning: Writing Your Will

When you ask older family members how they're securing their financial future, you'll likely hear about saving and investing. But here's the thing—what happens to that hard-earned money when you're gone? Ideally, you'd want your assets to be distributed among your loved ones. That's where a will comes in—ensuring that your assets are passed on to the right people when the time comes.
