Estate Planning
You have an estate. Your estate is made up of everything you own, from your house, your car, your investments and what's in your bank accounts to your personal possessions down to your clothes and furniture.
Estate planning is a broad term that incorporates many aspects, from how your estate will be managed after your death to how you can protect your assets (property, savings and investments) while you are living.
If you die without establishing an estate plan, your state will take on the responsibility of distributing your estate for you, in ways that you may not have chosen yourself. Estate planning is the best way to ensure your estate is distributed to your loved ones how and when you choose. Furthermore, proper planning can save your family from spending money on court costs and unnecessary legal fees. The first steps in estate planning are accomplished through creating a Last Will and Testament and a Power of Attorney.
But estate planning is about more than what happens to your assets after you die. Estate planning can also help you protect your hard earned savings from the devastating costs of nursing home care.
