Top Myths About Wills and Insurance—Busted

When it comes to wills and insurance, there’s a lot of confusion. Many people believe they don’t need them yet—or wait until it’s too late to make a plan. The truth? These are two of the most powerful tools you can have to protect your loved ones and secure your financial future.

At Clarity Financial, we’re here to make sure you have the facts. Because when it comes to your future, being informed is the first step toward being prepared.

Planning Ahead Matters

No one enjoys thinking about the unexpected, but creating a plan now is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make. Whether you’re just starting your journey or preparing your legacy, having the right wills and insurance in place brings peace of mind and protection for those who matter most.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of myths and misunderstandings out there. That’s where we come in. At Clarity Financial, we help you move forward with confidence by replacing confusion with clarity.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common wills and insurance myths, and what the truth really is.

Myth 1: "I’m too young to need a will."

Truth: If you're over 18 and own anything; like a car, savings, or even a pet—you should have a will! A will lets you decide who gets what and who will care for your loved ones. It’s not just for the elderly or wealthy. It’s for anyone who wants to protect what matters most.

Myth 2: "Life insurance is only for people with kids."

Truth: Life insurance isn’t just for parents. It’s for anyone who wants to help cover expenses like funeral costs, medical bills, or debt if something happens unexpectedly. Whether you're married, single, or have no kids, life insurance is a key part of financial protection.

Myth 3: "My family will know what to do, I don’t need a will."

Truth: Without a will, your state decides how your money and belongings are divided. That can create stress, legal trouble, and family conflict. A will gives your loved ones clarity and peace of mind when it matters most.

Myth 4: "I have a will, so I don’t need life insurance."

Truth: A will and life insurance work together, not separately. Your will explains your wishes. Your life insurance provides the money your loved ones need to carry those wishes out—like paying the mortgage, covering education costs, or staying financially secure during a hard time.

Myth 5: "It’s expensive and complicated to set up a will or buy insurance."

Truth: It doesn’t have to be. At Clarity Financial, we make the process simple and affordable. Our team helps you understand your options and build a plan that fits your life, your family, and your future.

Myth 6: "I’ll get to it later."

Truth: Life happens fast. No one plans to get sick or have an accident, but being prepared helps protect the people you love most. The best time to take action is now—before you need it.
