Picture 8My name is Christina McDonald, and I am an Attorney in Castle Rock, Colorado with Johansen, McDonald & Associates, PC.  My practice focuses on Wills, Trusts & Estates because I believe that the most overlooked aspect of financial planning is having a will, and having a solid estate plan.

Nationally syndicated radio talk host Dave Ramsey said it best when he said “It’s just plain rude to die without a will”, and I couldn’t have said it better myself.  Whether you call me to help set up a will or estate, or do it yourself, I can’t stress the importance of getting something set up so that in the event of something terrible happening to you, you at least won’t leave a mess behind for your heirs.

Dying without a will is called dying “intestate“, and to die intestate means that your heirs have very little control over what they should have rightfully inherited.  Instead, the state gets to decide how your assets will be divided.

Thanks for visiting my website.  Whether you continue to research here on my site, or elsewhere, I encourage you to set up a will for yourself as soon as possible.  There is nothing you can do that shows your loved ones you care – more than setting up a will to make sure that they are taken care of in the event of your unexpected passing.
