    • Make sure that you have a last will and testament. A will guarantees that your possessions will go to your loved ones after you pass away. If you would like to leave all your possessions to your spouse, then you need to have a will.

Make sure that you speak to an estate planning attorney to create an estate plan for you and your spouse. Estate planning for married couples cannot be neglected.
