Debunking the Myths of Estate Planning

It’s difficult to know all the ins and outs of estate planning. Having accurate information and the right resources to guide you are key.

We asked the Credit Union Trust team to help address the misconceptions that cause people to make bad decisions about their estate plans. Here are a few of common ones:

MYTH:   Wills don’t have to go to probate.
MYTH:   If I want to disinherit someone, I should give them $1.
MYTH:   If I put someone’s name on my property, I don’t need a will.
MYTH:   My oldest earns a lot; they won’t mind if I don’t leave them anything.

Have you heard these statements? They are all myths.
