Estate Planning for Mere Mortals
When you hear 'estate planning', what pops into your head?
Massive mansions, complex legal documents, and colossal inheritances, right?
Well, truth be told, estate planning isn't just for the well-heeled. In fact, it's a must-do for anyone and everyone who wants to keep their hard-earned assets safe, distribute their wealth in an organized way, and take care of their loved ones even when they're not around.
So then, what does it take to have an effective estate plan?
Well, first things first, you’ll need to identify the assets in your estate and choose who will inherit certain portions of your wealth.
You’ll also want to assign trusted individuals to take care of your affairs and settle your estate, and, at the same time, identify individuals to step in and make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
And after you’ve created your estate plan, the work doesn’t stop there. That’s because things like life changes and tax laws change can quickly make your plan obsolete.
Indeed, keeping your estate plan updated can help ensure it always reflects your wishes and protects your loved ones and assets to the max.
To be sure, estate planning is not an exclusive club for the rich and famous. It's a savvy move for everyone who wants to safeguard their financial future and leave their mark, no matter how big or small their estate is.
