Okay, friend — I know this isn’t the most exciting topic in the world, but hang with me for a minute.
August is Make Your Will Month… and before you scroll away thinking, “I’ll get to it someday,” let me ask you: what if someday never comes?
I get it. Talking about wills feels a little morbid. No one wants to think about the end of their life. We’re all busy living, right? But here’s the thing: getting your will done isn’t about you — it’s about the people you love.
It’s about making sure your kids, your spouse, your grandbabies (or fur babies!) aren’t left in a mess of confusion. It’s about deciding what happens to what you’ve worked so hard for, rather than letting the state figure it out for you.
And newsflash: not having a will doesn’t make you more spiritual or more carefree — it just makes things harder for the people left behind.
Here’s the good news: getting your will done doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated, or overwhelming. In fact, with the right tools (hello, LegalShield 👋), it can be as simple as filling out a form, answering a few questions, and getting it signed.
You don’t need to be rich. You don’t need a huge estate. You just need the wisdom to plan ahead.
So this August, let’s stop putting it off. Let’s protect what matters most. Let’s do the grown-up thing — and then go get ice cream after, because we deserve it. 🍦
Your future self (and your family) will thank you.
