Why should Baby Boomers worry about Estate Planning?  Baby Boomers are among the most influential population the world has seen. As they enter the retirement phase, there are many factors they need to consider before they settle down and enjoy life to the fullest. It is very critical to consider, especially during this time of age, a comprehensive financial plan which includes your retirement, mortgage, healthcare plans and the most overlooked, an estate plan.

Most of the baby boomer population these days are not aware of the importance of having an estate plan. They tend to neglect the fact that keeping a plan is important and they constantly tell themselves they will do it in later. Who needs one if I feel so alive, healthy and young? The urgency is not felt. Yes we do tend to live positively in life however, there are some things that even Baby Boomers cannot control in life – inevitable accidents, force majeure and even sudden or unexpected death.

Failure in securing an estate plan if those unwanted moments happen can be very difficult for your family. Do you want to see them in a stressful situation?
