The Benefits of a Carefully Mapped Estate Plan
When people think of estate planning, their minds immediately turn to wills and inheritances. However, a comprehensive estate plan runs during the course of a person’s life and beyond. Not only does a well-crafted estate plan dictate how your property and assets are administered upon your death, but it also establishes contingencies for situations where you become physically or mentally incapacitated due to an illness or injury. Where the will is the cornerstone of an effective estate plan, it is complemented by other estate planning tools such as trusts, and advanced healthcare directives.
Estate planning doesn’t only benefit the super-wealthy. People with modest estates can take advantage of an estate plan. This helps make sure that their assets are used according to their wishes. Whether you wish to provide for your family’s education, or support a community goal or charitable cause, we can help you realize your ideal vision of the future using a comprehensive estate plan.
When we develop your estate plan, we can guide you through how the following tools legally operate to promote your wishes:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Advanced healthcare directives
- Life insurance policies
Without are carefully established estate plan, some of your assets may not be used toward the vision of your estate’s future. In worst cases, an asset may go to someone you did not want to benefit or even become government property.
