Part 6
Preparing for the Future

You know how fast time flies. Days and weeks turn into months faster than you can turn the pages of your calendar. You swear you’ve just got the last needles from your Christmas tree cleaned off the carpet and the holiday season is once again upon you.

The future comes fast, and you’ve got to be ready. Estate planning isn’t just for old folks—it’s for everybody. If you haven’t thought about how best to distribute your assets when you die, there’s no time to spare. Planning is essential, not so much for yourself, but for your family.

The last section of the book, Chapters 24 through 27, examine methods of planning for the future, and tell you straight out why it’s necessary to plan, now. You’ll also learn about helping your parents to deal with financial and other issues.
