Do these questions ever keep you awake at night?

  • Will your family have to go to court when you die?

  • Who will take care of your children?

  • Should your memory fail, or you feel you no longer think straight, will a trusted person manage your money and do things the way you want?

  • Do you have a disabled child? What will happen to them when you die?

  • Divorced or remarried? Are you sure that your children will be provided for when you die?
