Blue & White Finance’s Post

I’ve barely posted a thing here in the last three months. My work entails talking to people about their death, and that has felt too raw, too real, too present in our lives here in Israel. It’s for the same reason, however, that more people have come to realize the importance of having a will, at any age and stage of life. Recently, Blue & White Finance invited me to be a guest on their podcast to explain how you can get started on your wills. For those who aren’t familiar with their work, they are a great financial resource for Olim. Among the topics we discussed were: What are mutual wills (and are they recommended)?, what decisions do you need to make when writing a will, how EZwill presents a simple solution for many people, and more. Thanks, Aaron Shuchatowitz, for having me on the show and getting me back on LinkedIn.

As you can probably imagine, wartime is not exactly an easy period during which a lawyer who specializes in wills and estates can easily promote/market their services. Then again, the fact of the matter is that it's ALWAYS important for you to have your will ready and prepped, no matter your age or life circumstances... The fact that it's wartime just makes it that much more imperative. Miriam Shatsky was just interviewed about this on the Blue & White Finance podcast by Aaron Shuchatowitz. It's a lengthy video, so I totally understand if the subject matter won't hold your attention for 45 minutes... ... but the principle remains: don't procrastinate when it comes to getting your will prepared! Use EZwill.co.il to do it yourself. Alternatively, if your circumstances are more complex, Miriam would be happy to assist you.

🎥 STOP! Don't let your will be invalid! 🚫✍️ I've seen so many DIY wills that just don't make the cut. 😱 Here are the top 3 mistakes that can ruin your will: 1️⃣ Beneficiary Witnesses: Your beneficiaries should NEVER be your witnesses. This can totally invalidate your will! ❌👀 2️⃣ No Signature: Forgetting to sign your will means it's not legally binding. Don't skip this step! ✒️📜 3️⃣ No Date: Not a must, but dating your will prevents confusion if there are multiple versions. 📅❓ Avoid these pitfalls and secure your peace of mind by booking a professional service. 💼💯 Comment below or check our website for exclusive offers on will writing services today! 🌐✨ #WillWriting #LegalTips #PeaceOfMind #SecureYourFuture

READ MORE! I know you’re all probably thinking that as your lawyer, my head is buried in a book about important legal principles or quotes from LJ Denning and Churchill…. Well…. It’s not… don’t get me wrong there are a few good books in the legal sphere but most of them are drier than the Sahara. Self help books are great but you can keep your “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and your “20 Rules To Live By”, and you can absolutely shove your “Butterworths” to the bottom of the pile. I like books that make me think I’m not such a terrible human being. Do you have a good book to recommend? #selfhelp #businesslawyer #exitstrategy #lojul24

The power of speaking out. A victim who chooses to speak out is doing so to help others. To help inform others of how emotionally abusive situations escalate into high-conflict and legal battles. They are not going to tell their story to seek revenge or to be vindictive in any way. Many victims write books to help inform and educate. Writing will help not only individuals but also the justice and legal system. Speaking up and showing how sometimes Justice is not served.  https://lnkd.in/dAjfPkQN
