TRANCRIPT

70% of Americans die without a will. When you do, the court takes over.

They’ll decide who gets your assets… …who raises your kids… …and which government programs get your money.

That’s right. Uncle Sam and Mr. IRS will be your beneficiaries. The government becomes your beneficiary through taxes, fees, and court costs.

In short, every dollar lost to poor planning is a dollar stolen from your family.

They don’t know your values. They don’t care about your family.

And your loved ones? They’ll be left with a mess of court dates, legal fees, and guesswork.

Or… you could take 15 minutes today and write a will. Free. Online. Right now.

Live well. Leave well. Plan your Estate for Those You Love

It’s your legacy. Not the government’s.
