Most of us can use a nudge now and then to do something we know we should do—like writing or updating a will. We find it easier to procrastinate than to accomplish the task and a good nudge can get us moving in the right direction. Consider this a gentle nudge to update your estate plan. The reason I want to nudge you to write or update your will is because I have seen the difficulties that arise when a person dies without a will. I also know that many people who intend to include St. Luke’s in their will fail to get their wish unless the bequest has been clearly stated in a valid will.

Another reason I want to gently prod you is because I know you will be glad when the chore is done. You will have peace of mind about your final affairs . . . and you will thank me for the nudge. One way St. Luke’s can assist you is to make things as easy as possible. Our complimentary estate planning guide is designed to do just that. It contains basic information that helps you think through the various issues and prepares you for your visit with an estate planning attorney.

The main thing is to complete this extremely important matter while you are able to thoughtfully consider the options and make sound decisions.
