Should I create my own Estate Plan?

Many people feel that having a will (also called a Last Will and Testament) is all that is needed to orderly transfer your assets to those that you want to have them after you are gone, but unfortunately it is not that simple.  

What exactly is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the process of documenting who will receive your assets and handle your responsibilities after your death or incapacity. One of the goals is to make sure your beneficiaries receive what you want to give them in the easiest and most cost-effective way possible.

What is a Comprehensive Estate Plan and why do we recommend it?

A Comprehensive Estate Plan consists of at least four essential documents.  Each document performs a different purpose.  All four documents are necessary for the system to work effectively against a backdrop of an uncertain future for any individual.  An estate plan is optimal when unknown and unforeseen events happen.  Each document helps provide a safety net for different types of possible future events.
