“Nothing is Certain but Death & Taxes”- Benjamin Franklin    A Will is a great start to an Estate Plan and sometimes a properly done Will is enough, but sometimes a Will is not the best option when it comes to our final planning needs, and it can fall short - leading to a costly and stressful settlement after our death.
