I was listening to the Matt and Ramona show on 107.9 today. I laughed so hard at the story Ramona was telling. She was telling the story of the day that she took her dog to the vet. I could hear the embarrassment in her voice as she spoke. That morning she had gotten dressed in a very comfy and very cute strapless dress. Then, her and her dog headed out to see the vet.

Today I wanted to talk about an important topic that nobody likes to discuss... Estate Planning. How prepared are you in the event that something should happen to either you, your spouse, or both?
