With life's uncertainty it's never too early to start making an estate plan, but it can be too late. Many people choose not to address the need to create a last will and testament, associating the task with morbidity. It is important to notify your family and friends of your desired wishes in the event that you suddenly pass on. Actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman is tragically a prime example of such a case.

The actor tragically died on February 2nd of an apparent drug overdose. Hoffman spoke candidly of his past struggles with addiction and even checked himself into a rehab center last year for 10 days after relapsing. The grieving process was made simpler for the family that survived him thanks to his preparedness of a will.

In the document, Hoffman bequeathed all of his personal property to Marianne "Mimi" O'Donnell, the mother of his three children.
