Creating an Estate Road Map for Your Heirs

On October 31, 2019, the Grand Rapids Business Journal’s Law Blog posted Neil Kimball’s article “The importance of creating an estate road map for your heirs.” In the article, Neil suggests leaving a personalized letter of instructions to your spouse or other family members. The letter may explain what you intend for each of them and an explanation of why you left your estate the way you did in your documents. The letter also may guide them on what needs to be done following your death with respect to each of your assets. Neil explains that clearly defined instructions will make it easier for your beneficiaries and relieve stress and fear.
