Estate Planning
Estate planning is done to prepare families for the financial circumstances when a loved one passes away. Generally, it is the Will that will direct what happens at that point; however, the vast majority of estate plans also include a simple Power of Attorney to deal with property issues if an individual becomes disabled and can no longer handle his or her own finances.
If you have accumulated assets during your lifetime, you likely will want to ensure that wealth transitions cost effectively.
