Navigating the Labyrinth: Choosing the Right DIY Estate Planning Software
My grandfather, a man who could fix anything with duct tape and a prayer, had a blind spot: paperwork. His “filing system” was a shoebox overflowing with receipts, warranties, and – somewhere in there – a will drafted sometime during the Ford administration. When he passed, untangling his financial life felt like defusing a bomb. We loved him dearly, but his lack of planning created a ripple effect of stress and uncertainty we could have avoided. That experience, etched in my memory, is why I’m so passionate about helping others navigate the often-overwhelming world of estate planning.
