Work has been stable, savings look decent, and health's been good—but a conversation with my sister got me thinking. She asked if I had anything set up in case I couldn’t make decisions or if something happened to me suddenly. The truth is... I don’t. No will, no directives, nothing. I want to fix that, but I’ve no idea what the process even looks like. Where does someone even start? Would love some pointers.
A similar wake-up call pushed me to act a few years ago. Luckily, I got in touch with an Estate planning attorney Scottsdale who helped tailor a plan specifically to my life situation. They walked me through wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and medical preferences—all in one cohesive plan. It wasn’t just about assets but about making sure my wishes are honored. Definitely worth doing before life throws a curveball.
This thread got me thinking, too. Always assumed I’d “get to it later,” but that day keeps getting pushed back. Nice to see some practical advice here. Gives me the push I needed to at least start the conversation at home.
