 Estate
planning
is important, regardless of the size of your estate and
assets. Proper Estate planning allows you to
ensure that the property you own at your death will go
to the people and organizations of your choosing, in the
manner and time frame that you dictate. This is
certainly preferred over having the state choose how your assets will be
distributed. Proper Estate planning is of particular importance where
assets will be left to minors, young adults, individuals with special needs, or
individuals who lack financial sophistication.
In addition, a proper estate plan will anticipate tax
issues and in many cases, can completely avoid, or
greatly reduce, what would otherwise be a punitively
high tax. Over the last decade, the laws governing the
taxes that affect a decedent’s estate have changed
dramatically, and it is expected that they will continue
to change into the future. As a result, it is a good
idea to review your estate plan regularly to ensure that
it remains up-to-date. Estate planning often
involves a
last will and testament,
trusts,
durable power of attorney, life insurance policies, a
living will,
and other estate related documents.

Having estate planning documents
prepared may be essential in how your estate will be
handled and distributed in the event of your passing. In the absence of these estate documents the courts will
make all decisions relating to your estate, often times
causing disputes between your family members and loved
ones. This can happen to any family, regardless of the
size of the estate in the absence of the proper estate
documents.
