Preplanning is something that is not done enough, especially considering the many benefits of it. Preplanning not only allows you to control how your assets are distributed but also allows you to make important decisions about your end-of-life plan and funeral.

I WAS “UP NORTH,” walking through the woods with an escort of dragonflies on either side, as if I were a visiting dignitary in need of protection. I love dragonflies.
