What is Estate Planning?

Estate Planning is the preparation of tasks that serve to manage an individual's asset base in the event of their incapacitation or death. The planning includes the bequest of assets to heirs and the settlement of estate taxes. Most estate plans are set up with the help of an attorney experienced in estate law.

When should you get an estate plan?

Many financial advisors would recommend starting an Estate Plan the moment you become a legal adult, and updating it every three to five years after that.  An estate planning lawyer can help you through the process of deciding how to divide your assets, and advise you on the documents you need to make sure your wishes will be fulfilled. They can also help create documents to protect you if you become sick.
