When partners create a life together, they often consider the house they will make a home, the children they will have, where their careers will take them, the places they will travel to and what retirement will look like together. Looking towards the future is easy when you are considering the happy and enjoyable events in life. It is less appealing when spouses need to think about their eventual death or if their health depreciates. Nonetheless, it is an imperative conversation when creating an estate plan.
