Estate planning is one of the most important steps that you will take in life to ensure that your final wishes for health and property are honored and that your loved ones are provided for following your death. With estate planning, numerous questions are answered and problems resolved.
A common misconception is that estate planning is only for wealthy people or people who are nearing retirement or already retired. In reality, every person has an estate, some small and simple and others large and complex. An estate is comprised of all personal property owned, including automobiles, real estate, life insurance policies, stocks/securities, furniture, artwork, jewelry, checking and savings accounts, investments, and other personal property. This is why estate planning is important for everyone.
With an estate plan, your loved ones will have clear and legal direction regarding your wishes for personal property, finances, taxes, funeral arrangements, and more, after your passing. To ensure that your wishes are carried out, specific instructions are provided in the estate plan.
