The Boston Globe recently published an article titled “First comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes the ‘If I go first. . .’ conversation,” which highlights the importance of having a discussion with your partner about what they would need to know if you were to die before them. This is a conversation most of us dread just thinking about, due to how uncomfortable we are as a society with our own mortality, and that of those we love the most. However, this is a conversation that is extremely important to have so that you or your loved ones are not left lost and confused on how to approach day-to-day tasks that the other had usually handled. If you have any questions related to this topic and how it may affect you, our Estate Planning Department may be able to help.
