Finding the Will
(Part 1)

Have the will to arrange for a smooth transition when youโre no longer around to answer questions (Part 1)
Ensuring your children or other Loved Ones can readily access your important papers when you die entails a sound process versus one or two conversations. You must overcome aversion to the subject of death, procrastination of anything that is long-term, and the tendency to assume things will be fine. Family dynamics can be sweet, spicy, or dicey.

Are you single? That other 50% could be whoever is most important to you.
Multiple unforgiving players factor into your retirement and estate plans (collectively your โendgameโ). Household names include the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
