Whether famous or just regular folks, we are reminded by the following anecdote that a few extra steps in your estate planning will deliver on your intentions.
Sonny Bono
A former musician, TV show host, and politician, Sonny Bono was a busy man—apparently too busy to write a will before his untimely death in a skiing accident at age 62. However, it turned out that he wasn’t too busy to secretly father a child out of wedlock who surfaced after Bono's death to claim part of his estate along with ex-wife Cher.

A life's lesson here: We have no idea how much longer we have to live, so don’t procrastinate. Write a will, especially if you have a complex family situation. Allocate some time now, so you can avoid the messy aftermath from inadequate planning like Salvatore Phillip “SONNY” BONO.
Call me, let's get you started on a long term estate plan that won't leave loose ends for your heirs.
