Will & Trust Planning FLA

What You Need to Know About Wills & Trusts

If you’re undecided about creating a will, it’s essential to be equipped with the right information to make informed decisions for your unique circumstances.

Having a family, owning a home, or possessing any financial accounts are significant reasons to have a will. A properly crafted will is crucial for designating guardians for children, transferring a family-owned business, and preventing potential disputes among family members.

Life is full of changes such as marriages, divorces, births, and deaths. These events can make an existing will outdated and misaligned with your current intentions, leading to complications if not regularly updated.

Join us for a complimentary Will Awareness seminar hosted at the Richard Byrd Library: 7250 Commerce St, Springfield, VA 22150. This event will arm you with the essential knowledge to avoid the most common and costly mistakes in will preparation today.
