A Pasta Recipe and an Estate Plan.

Estate planning and cooking have a lot in common. They both require the right set of ingredients, and they both relieve the worries of life. If you have good food that is one less thing to worry about, if you have estate planning you know your beneficiaries are going to be okay.

Have you ever cooked a bad meal? Of course you have. I once used sugar instead of salt, yummy. Well let’s not do that with your estate plan. Here is what you need for a successful estate plan.

1. A will and a personal representative.

3. Heirs and Beneficiaries.

4. Agent(s)

5. Guardian(s)
