Estate Planning - Considering a Second Marriage Late in Life

Denver,CO (PRWEB) July 30, 2006 - Ronald E. Hudkins, U.S.Army, SFC, Military Police Coeps.(Retired) and President of American Industry Maintenance (AIM), LLC at www. assetprotectnow.com address the importance of estate planning regardless of age.

"As the life expectancy of people in the United States increases, the reality of second and third marriages becomes more likely even for those who tend to marry for a long time if not until the death of their first spouse," Hudkins said. "Widows and widowers are increasingly likely to meet and decide that a second marriage is an excellent way to avoid spending their autumn years alone and that love is not the exclusive province of the young. It is often a surprise to adult children to meet the boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife of their elderly parents."
