Estate Planning

So, what is estate planning? In short, estate planning is:

1. creating a basic or comprehensive plan for protecting, disbursing and managing your interests, assets and beneficiaries in case of your death or disability;

2. shielding your assets and proactively planning for your beneficiaries to inherit in the most economical manner;

3. stating your wishes in writing so your loved ones have some order during and after the bereavement period.

Who is it for?

Estate planning is for nearly everyone who is at least 18 years old. No matter your age or the size of your estate, it is likely that you have someone or something to protect. Estate planning protects your assets and beneficiaries' interest in case of death, but also in case of an unexpected (or expected) disability.
