Each year people die who have not prepared a will. When this occurs, the law dictates how an individual's property is distributed, and a court may pick the guardian of your children. Dying without an estate plan can also increase the likelihood that your surviving loved ones will not be cared for. Too many people put off addressing these important issues. Don't let it happen to you.
