Estate Planning
Embedded Files
Estate planning is the process of organizing what happens to your money, property, businesses, and personal wishes if you pass away or become unable to make decisions.
It usually includes things like:
A will – who gets what.
Power of attorney – someone who can make financial decisions for you if you can’t.
Healthcare directives – who makes medical decisions for you.
Life insurance planning – making sure your family gets the right benefits.
Trusts – tools to protect your money, reduce taxes, and control how assets are distributed.
