Luck Is Not a Legal Strategy

This March, while everyone is chasing pots of gold and four-leaf clovers, it’s worth remembering one universal truth: Luck is not a legal strategy. At Lubnau Law, we’ve seen what happens when families rely on ‘hoping for the best’ instead of a concrete plan. Luck is a feeling, but a solid Estate Plan is a fact. While we all hope for a smooth future, true peace of mind comes from knowing your legacy isn’t left to the whims of a probate court or battling family members.

Many people treat estate planning like a lottery ticket they’ll buy eventually. They assume that because they are healthy today, they have plenty of time to beat the odds. But relying on luck means assuming:

-            State laws will magically align with your personal wishes

-            Family members will all agree on who should manage your affairs

-            Taxes and legal fees will magically disappear

In the legal world, good luck is usually just the result of good preparation. A solid plan removes the maybe from your future by addressing three critical areas:

1.       Guardianship: Don’t leave it to a judge to choose who raises your children.

2.       Healthcare decisions: a Power of Attorney ensures your medical wishes are followed so your family isn’t left guessing during a crisis.

3.       Asset protection: A well-structured Trust protects your beneficiaries from creditors and mismanagement better than an outright inheritance ever could.

This March, enjoy the magic of St. Patrick’s Day, but don’t leave your future to luck. Your legacy is too important to be left to a roll of the dice. By taking the time to create a comprehensive estate plan, you aren’t just being lucky- you are being legendary. Lubnau Law is ready to empower you- (307) 682-1313.
