What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning involves making arrangements during your lifetime for the management and distribution of your assets after your death according to your wishes. It may include drafting a will, creating a trust, choosing your personal representatives to act on your behalf in a variety of circumstances where you may not be present or able to make the decisions yourself, communicating with financial institutions managing your funds to designate beneficiaries etc.
Why Do I Need Estate Planning?
Estate planning is crucial because it allows you to dictate how your assets will be distributed upon your death, ensuring your wishes are followed. It also helps minimize taxes and legal complications for your loved ones, provides for minor children or incapacitated family members, and can include healthcare directives to manage medical decisions if you become unable to do so yourself.
Do I need a lawyer for estate planning?
While you can create basic estate planning documents yourself, consulting with an experienced estate planning attorney ensures your documents are legally sound, tailored to your specific needs, and compliant with state laws.
What is probate and should I avoid it?
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets under court supervision. While it can be time-consuming and costly, proper estate planning, including trusts, can help minimize probate costs or entirely circumvent that process while still accomplishing your asset distribution goals.
What documents are typically included in an estate plan?
Common estate planning documents include a will, trust(s), powers of attorney (for finances and healthcare), and advance directives (such as a living will or healthcare directive).
