Essential Estate Planning

Perhaps the biggest misconception about estate planning is that it is the sole preserve of the wealthy. The reality, however, is that everyone can benefit from an estate plan no matter how much (or how little) they have.

Reasons why an estate plan is important

  • To safeguard your assets for your family (or other beneficiaries)
  • To control how your assets will be passed down
  • To put the right people in charge to act on your wishes
