What is Estate Planning? Why is it important or useful to know about? What are its benefits? Who or what situation is it best suited for?
Estate Plans are not for a particular type of person but can be beneficial to all people. Everyone can benefit from the peace of mind that planning for the future can bring. An a estate plan has five major purposes that can serve you during your life and after your death:
- Providing for your incapacity
- Appointing a guardian for your minor children and a person to manage the children’s assets
- Avoiding a probate, including avoiding the delays in distribution of assets and
expenses associated with a probate - Choosing how your assets will be distributed to your beneficiaries after your death
- Potentially minimizing estate taxes
