Worst Case Scenarios

Okay, my short blog today is going to invite the wrath of someone who has lost a family member due to blowfish poisoning.

If you that have worked with me before, you know I believe that I have a responsibility to explain to my clients all of the worst case scenarios that can result from either not having an estate plan, or the decisions that they make while drafting one.

These typically involve such things as being hit by a bus, your spouse or partner hitting you in the head with a hammer, your spouse or partner running off to Paris with your money and a new lover while you are incapacitated due to said hammer strike, or your entire extended family perishing in a freak meteor strike on your family reunion.

Now, I think I shall add to my repertoire blowfish poisoning.

So, my best advice today: before popping down to Todai for some Fugu, check in with your attorney to make sure that you have your affairs in order. It just makes sense! :)
