"Face it: You're going to die. It's not a happy thought, but it is realistic. And you should be prepared--at least on paper. Make some decisions now--while you're healthy and relatively crisis-free--that will save your family members from further anguish and possibly fierce fighting in the event that your time on this planet turns out to be shorter than you had hoped." (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM) This article explains the purposes of wills, living trusts and living wills and stresses the importance of preparing these documents.
