As people age, they might start to think about their passing. One thing that they should do to prepare for this is to create an estate plan so that they can relay their wishes to their loved ones. The plan should include a will, but some mistakes can make it difficult to enforce a will.
Don't make common mistakes when you create a will

Guardianships over adult parents might be necessary as they age
As adults age, they might begin to show signs of dementia and other age-related conditions. When the mind begins to slip and they can't understand how decisions impact them or relay decisions they make, it might be time to establish a guardianship for senior care. This isn't an easy thing to think about if you are dealing with your parent's decline, but it is a way that you can truly help them to be able to enjoy as much peace as possible in their final days.
