***************************
A man from Alabama was getting his affairs in order. As part of these arrangements he met with his attorney to talk about what type of funeral service he wanted, etc.
He told his lawyer he had two final requests. First, he wanted to be cremated, and second, he wanted his ashes scattered over WalMart.
"WalMart?!" the lawyer said. "Why WalMart?"
"That way, I know my daughters will visit me at least twice a week."
****************************
Having a last will and testament in place will prevent your assets from complications in probate court, a process that can be time-consuming, costly, and often contentious.
Contact me today to begin the process of planning for your family's future. It is never too early to plan, and making the right decisions now, while you are able, will tell your family that you cared for them.
