Estate Planning
Do You Need An Estate Plan?
Estate planning can be a neglected part of financial planning. It’s easy to delay answering uncomfortable questions such as “What happens to my assets and my loved ones when I die?” So it’s no surprise that roughly half of Americans don’t have a will, and even fewer have an estate plan.
How many of us could benefit from an estate plan? For that matter, what is an estate plan, and how does it differ from a will?
A will is a relatively simple legal document that sets forth your wishes regarding the distribution of property; it may also include instructions regarding the care of minor children. An estate plan goes much further than a will. Not only does it deal with the distribution of assets and legacy wishes, but it may help you and your heirs pay substantially less in taxes, fees, and court costs.
