6 Concerns What if you didn t wake up tomorrow? What if you became disabled, unemployed, or unable to work? Who do you want to help educate? Do you have your arms around what that is going to cost you? Would your parents want to help? Are your parents still living? If so, would you be expected to contribute to their support some time in the future? And have you thought that you might need some nursing care? How and when do you plan to retire? What are you going to do when you get there and how much is it going to cost you to do it? Not just the day after, but 10, 20, or 30 years later?

7 Concerns Continued How important is it for you to interfere in the financial lives of your children? While you are still living? As a legacy? Or both? Is there a charity that you care deeply about that you would want to help? While you are still living? As a legacy? Or both? Let s assume like we have to that when you are gone half of your estate is going to be taxed away. Would you like your children to sell something that you probably didn t want them to sell just to pay for that tax?
