An estate planning professional, Steve Bish, has expressed concern over the growing use of artificial intelligence in creating wills and managing estate plans. Bish, who transitioned from a career in window sales to estate planning, warns that many individuals may be overly trusting automated systems with important personal decisions.
Bish’s perspective is informed by his experience helping the widow of a close friend, Carl, who died in a scooter accident in 2001 without leaving a will. This situation highlighted for Bish the complexities involved in estate management and the potential risks of relying solely on technology for such matters.
**Why this matters**
Wills and estate planning are legally sensitive and often require personalized advice to ensure that an individual’s wishes are accurately documented and legally valid. Overdependence on AI tools could lead to errors or oversights, potentially causing difficulties for heirs and loved ones during challenging times.
