When you welcome a new child into the world, end-of-life planning is probably the last thing on your mind. But in reality, it’s one of the most important things you can attend to, especially after becoming a new parent.

The thought of sitting down and creating an estate plan can be challenging enough for many people. So, to constantly revisit and update it might seem like a daunting chore.

At the end of the year, holiday seasons come upon us, and with that comes shopping. Gifts, decorations and party supplies need purchasing. Retail stores historically become a bit of a madhouse.

And while the stress of planning might seem to be paramount, there are other issues at play.

While employees and managers should be doing their due diligence to keep stores clean and safe, the hustle and bustle can override that. And with that can come the dreaded slip and fall.
