What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is creating a clear plan for preserving your wealth and assets while alive and distributing it after your death. Creating a plan can help you achieve your personal and family goals while making managing your financial and legal matters easier. In addition, having a plan in place can minimize the taxes you’ll owe if you have a large estate. Your estate can consist of anything valuable that you own, such as real estate, business assets, investments, insurance payments, personal belongings, and even things like jewelry or sentimental items. Estate planning can be accomplished through various methods, including living trusts, last will, and lifetime giving.
