Planning For Your Future Is Easier Than You Think
Many people believe planning for the future is an expensive, long process, but often this assumption is just not true. Creating a plan is easy, you just need to decide what is important to you and make sure this is where your assets will go.
The reality is more like this…
- Many assets can be transferred outside of your will.
- If you do not create a plan, the state will create a plan for you and this may not match your goals.
- A well-written will doesn’t have to be long, sometimes it can be as short as just a few pages.
- Include PBS KANSAS (KPTS, Inc.) as one of your beneficiaries in your Will or Living Trust and part of your assets will come to the station upon your death.
