Your Last Will and Testament
A Last Will and Testament gives you the opportunity to have your final words to your family and loved ones and directs what property you would like to pass on and to whom. It will take some thought, a little bit of time to put your thoughts together, and some uncomfortable discussions with those you love but in the end it will be worth it.

What Is A Living Will And Why You Should Have One
A Living Will, sometimes referred to as an "advanced medical directive" is a document which lets you decide whether or not to be kept on artificial life support. The document appoints someone as your health care power of attorney to make important health care decisions on your behalf, based on your prior direction, when you are no longer able to do so.

Why You Need a Will
Because 50%-60% of the population never executes a Will, the majority of us will allow our state legislature to determine who is most deserving of our money, belongings, and real estate when we die. Why do otherwise intelligent people who work and save their whole lives fail to plan for the inevitable? Are we that trusting, that apathetic, that fearful, that cheap?

A Plan By Design Or By Telephone?
There is a game that most of us have played before, whether around the campfire or in some other setting: "Telephone." In this game, you tell a story to the first person who repeats it to the next, and so on, until the story makes it around the circle. It's fascinating how the story changes even when people are trying faithfully to keep to the original facts. The more complex the story, the more the story mutates.

Do I Really Need a Will?
In Pennsylvania for instance, if you die without a Will, a Court will determine who inheritates your estate. There are many circumstances in which your Widow will not inherite your entire estate if you die without leaving behind a Will. Did you know that in Pennsylvania, for instance, under certain circumstances, a Widow has to share his/her spouses estate with the decedent's parents. A Will may be the most important document you ever leave behind.

Preparing For the Unthinkable
Nobody thinks they will be in an auto accident, have a heart attack, have a stroke, or a myriad of other unexpected, sudden incidents. Those are events that happen to other, unfortunate people - not to us. Yet, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, auto accidents injure over 2.5 million people in the United States each year. Over 42,000 of those accidents result in death.
