You can have great legal documents. But if no one can find them, you have a mess on your hands. That's what happened in Florence Griffith-Joyner Estate. Another celebrity estate that had a "normal people" problem.

Legal documents are important. They set up a plan for the most efficient way for your legal issues to be addressed when you die. But you have to do more than simply sign a will or a trust.
