ESTATE PLANNING

Who needs estate planning? Everyone! 

In general terms, estate planning involves the creation of wills and trusts. However, estate planning can do so much more for you than simply protecting your assets after death. 

• Estate planning gives you the power to choose how your assets are administered after death, who they are administered to, and who is responsible for carrying out your wishes. 
• For the parent(s) with minor children, Estate planning can also give you the power to choose who becomes guardian of your child(ren) in case both parents were to pass away while the child(ren) remains a minor. 
• For those concerned with future medical decisions, creating an estate plan can also provide the benefit of allowing you to state your medical choices, and/or appointing a person to make medical decisions for you, in case you become terminally ill.
• For the common blended family, estate planning can be used to ensure children and other desired beneficiaries receive their assigned share without possible interference from interested relatives. 
• For the homeowner, estate planning can protect your home from being taken by the government when you pass away. 

In the case that your loved one died without an estate plan, you may have to have their estate go through probate. Probate is the analysis and transfer administration of estate assets previously owned by a deceased person. The process itself can be complex and lengthy, especially if there are conflicts between family members.
