The saga has finally ended.

I have written a number of times about my father-in-law’s struggles with Parkinson’s, and our struggles with settling his estate after he passed on. Here we are, 4.5 years later and finally, the estate has been settled. My father-in-law was an artist who did not care about anything that would be considered business. His free spirit was a joy, but his refusal to sign even a basic will had become our burden. We had to open up probate, hire attorneys and accountants in New Jersey, and my husband made countless trips there to settle his estate. We begged him to sign a will, appoint durable power of attorney to someone, and state his final wishes to no avail.
Basic estate planning can be a simple task without a large outlay of cash or time. Please do not leave this type of legacy for your family. If you need a referral to an estate planning attorney, please contact me at nancy@financialgroup.com.
