What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the protection of your assets while you are alive and the determination of who gets those assets when you have passed away. The more common tools of estate planning are the will and the trust, but there are plenty of other vehicles an estate planner can use to make sure that your assets are protected at all times, such as power of attorney and health care proxy.
Why do I need Estate Planning?
Whether you are wealthy or not, you still have an estate. The home you own, your car, your investments, and your bank accounts are all assets that you want to protect for now, and for your future generations. If you have a family you care about and plans for trying to take care of that family after you have passed on, then you need estate planning.
