Assets - Leaving a Legacy of Encouragement

I just listened to this wonderful singer from Britain's Got Talent, 2009, Susan Boyle. As she said she would, she "rocked" the house with a standing ovation. BUT, do you know how this all started!! It was because she had a dream and her recently deceased mother encouraged her to audition, to follow her dream. In honor of her mother, she did audition and you see/hear the result.

A Will does not only address tangible assets, ie money and real estate but also it can address non-tangible assets. You can encourage or provide incentive for someone to pursue a career, make a beneficial lifestyle change, stop smoking, drinking, gamblings or engaging in other potentially harmful activity. Through estate planning you have the opportunity to change the life of the one your love, in many ways, and in turn you give the world a gift, as Susan's mother did for us.
