We all have things we'd rather avoid, especially during divorce, when the whole legal and financial process is already overwhelming. For me and others I know, the hairy monsters I avoided for months were things like wills, estate plans, trust and health proxies. Who wants to think about the far off eventuality of death when living offers so many urgent challenges? But spending a little time tackling these things now, could save your kids and other beneficiaries HUGE problems later.
That's why we asked Lara Sass to be our guest this Thursday at noon for our Members' Expert Call. An UNtied member who worked with her describes her as "a brilliant, thorough, incisive and responsive woman warrior."
Who better to help us face down hairy monsters? It is really important to tackle them -- whether you simply thinking about divorce or have just signed your separation agreement.
