Why Do People Procrastinate About Estate Planning?

Why People Procrastinate About Estate Planning

There are a vast number of reasons why people procrastinate about creating an estate plan. Some of the key reasons include:

  • Not wanting to think about death: It’s not fun to consider what will happen if you can’t raise your children or how your assets will be divided up if you pass away. Unfortunately, you make things much worse for your family if you don’t make an estate plan so you should overcome your discomfort with thinking ahead and just put your plan in place.
  • Not wanting to talk about money: Talking about money is also uncomfortable, especially when difficult decisions need to be made about how to divide up your assets among your loved ones after you pass on. However, if you don’t make your plans, you could lose money due to estate tax and other sources of loss.
  • Estate planning can seem confusing: While most people know that they need a last will and testament, other estate planning tools like trusts can be much more confusing and difficult to understand. You may feel overwhelmed regarding what you actually need to do to make a plan and may not even know how to get started. That’s why it’s important to get help from Long Island estate planning lawyers who can make the process easy.
  • You may not want to make difficult decisions: When you make plans to provide for heirs or beneficiaries, you have to decide how you are going to divide up assets and things like family heirlooms. Unfortunately, heirs or beneficiaries often end up unhappy with the way that assets are distributed. You may be concerned about making the tough choices regarding division of assets, especially if you are worried that some of your family members could be angered by the choices you may. Still, it is important to act because if you don’t, you significantly increase the chances of your family getting into a big dispute when you pass on. This could cause the value of your estate to be reduced as your family spends money in estate litigation fighting over what will happen to your wealth when you pass on.
