If something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know what to do?
Would they know your wishes?
Would they know how to handle your finances?
Would they be protected?
Would they be left to figure it all out on their own?
I know it’s not fun to think about. But the truth is this:
A will isn’t about death. It’s about preparation.
It’s about responsibility. It’s about making life easier for the people you care about most.
The Hardest Questions Are the Most Important
Most people avoid this part of the legacy journey. I get it. It feels heavy.
But avoiding it doesn’t protect your family. It leaves them vulnerable.
Taking the time to create a will gives your family the gift of clarity. It removes the stress and confusion so they can focus on healing and honoring your life – not sorting through chaos.
This isn’t just about money or stuff. It’s about direction. It’s about peace of mind when it is done and off the checklist.
What a Will Actually Does
A simple will answers the biggest questions your family would face if you weren’t here:
- Who handles your affairs?
- Who gets what?
- What happens to your property?
- Who takes care of your kids or pets?
You don’t need to be wealthy to need a will. If you own anything – a house, a car, some savings, or things that matter to you – you need one.
Don’t Overthink It
This doesn’t have to be complicated.
You can do it with a lawyer if you want to, but there are also reliable tools online that walk you through it step by step.
The most important thing is to get something in place that works where you live. You can always update it later.
A Simple Box That Says It All
I know someone with a “funeral box.”
It’s a plastic storage bin in the garage – clearly labeled – and everyone in the family knows where to find it. He made sure to tell me where it is once I married into the family. Inside is everything the family needs if something happened to him and/or his wife:
- Their will
- Insurance policies
- Account info
- A letter to their kids with funeral instructions
No one wants to think about that day. But they’ve made it simple, loving, and clear. That one box says, “I cared enough to prepare and think of those being left behind.”
That’s legacy in action.
You’re building peace, protection, and purpose for the ones you love no matter what.
That’s leadership. That’s legacy.
