Sometimes, peace of mind is truly priceless, such as how you feel when your teenager returns home safely with the family car before curfew on a Saturday night.
Other times, peace of mind comes with a price tag.
If you have purchased a home and had the opportunity to hire the services of a seasoned house inspector, you know what I mean. Knowing the wiring is up to code, and the foundation stable can be worth every dollar the service costs. Conversely, that inspection can keep you from purchasing a “money pit”; again, it can be worth every dime and more.
Another way of considering the cost of peace of mind is to consider the following: Let’s say your spouse has had some health concerns, and several tests have been run. The results are still questionable, and sadly, your insurance company’s coverage does not cover the diagnostics that will provide reliable answers. It’s “out of network” and will be costly. What do you do? For most of us, if we can, we pay the additional costs to have the definitive answers, the “peace of mind” of knowing all is well or at least knowing what the problem is and being able to take the appropriate steps.
As an estate planning attorney, I view “peace of mind” as one of the primary benefits of what I deliver. I want my client, when we have finished putting together their customized estate plan, designed to protect everything and everyone dear to them, to feel peace of mind. Knowing that you’ve done everything possible to protect your hard-earned assets and your loved ones. When my clients and I have completed the plan, knowing it can be updated as needed, they often say that a huge weight has been lifted from them. And it’s true. A comprehensive plan developed by an experienced estate planning attorney like myself means a client’s wishes will be carried out. No worries about extra burdens to the family like probate, unclear asset division or leaving family members to guess what you wanted. It is a gift to yourself and them. And frankly, well-worth every penny.
