Law enforcement officers prepare for the risks of the job, but many never prepare for what happens if they don’t make it home. After spending their careers protecting complete strangers, estate planning is one of the most important ways deputies can protect the people who matter most. In recognition of National Make a Will Month, host John Creamer talks with attorney Kent Showalter of DSK Law and LegalShield about why planning isn’t about expecting tragedy — it’s about loving your family enough to make life easier if tragedy comes.
