When Not to Emulate Prince

While Prince’s family was grieving the icon’s death, the pain was likely further compounded by his lack of will and estate planning.

Not only does your will include your asset distribution, but it also names an executor, who has the responsibility to see your wishes are carried out. Estate planning includes appointing an advanced medical directive, allowing you to select the person who will make decisions about your health if you’re unable to, and a power of attorney, which permits someone else to manage your assets if, again, you cannot.

Don’t wait until it’s too late; call an attorney today.
