Taking no action_ _ _ to start the discussion of Living Wills and Legal Wills and about your future and the future of your family is too much of a gamble! Many know, and often think about the necessity of having written plans for their futures and the potential unexpected, but for some reason they keep putting off the inevitable. That is unfortunate, because for the welfare of all concerned, it should be done.
The questions often arise?_ _ “Who will start the conversation”? “When and Where”?_ _ “How would one start the conversations ” ?
Perhaps here is a thought for you to consider ? How about the next social functions you attend? Whether at a dinner party, cocktail party, or entertainment affair with two or more couples, start the conversations with questions like: Do any of you folks know anything about Living Wills? What do you think about them ? , Do you know any couple who has one ?, Does anyone have any experience with selecting a Power of Attorney ?, Is it important to have a Living Will drawn up with directions on how to protect against any infirmaties ?, Can you offer any advice about how you did it ? ,Did you use a financial planner or lawyer to help you ?, Were they helpful and would you recommend them ?, Were you satisfied with their charges ?, Did they suggest that you also have a Legal Will drafted for your family ?, Did they offer to help you draft a Legal Will ?.
Hearing from other family, close friends or acquaintances about what they have done often eases the atmosphere in which these delicate topics can be discussed. In many cases involving as many family and close friends in the discussion and planning of a Living Will and a Legal Will is of warm comfort. Having as many family and friends around who will know something about your affairs if anything happens could only be considered a plus.
It is a known fact that neither husbands/wives/partners like to discuss their mortality and death. Yet, because it is inevitable, it is a vital subject that must be addressed rationally.
