TRANSCRIPT

What happens to your kids if you die without a will?

The court steps in. 

Not your sister. Not your best friend. Not the person you would have chosen.

A judge—who’s never met your family—decides who raises your children.

Sometimes it leads to family fights.

Sometimes even foster care.

If you think that sounds extreme… it happens every day.

Don’t risk your kids’ future. Put your wishes in writing — for your family, your friends, and the causes you care about.

Live Well. Leave Well.

Plan Your Estate for Those You Love.
