Why Estate Planning is Important
Having a comprehensive estate plan in place will help you feel more confident about the future and assure that your loved ones will be taken care of. It can help you achieve a variety of goals and objectives, including:
-
Providing support and financial stability for your spouse.
-
Preserving assets for future generations.
-
Supporting a favorite charity or other worthy cause.
-
Ensuring all of your assets, including those that pass by beneficiary designation (e.g., retirement accounts and life insurance policies), will be distributed according to your wishes.
-
Minimizing income, gift, and estate taxes.
-
Ensuring that individuals you choose can make decisions on your behalf in the event of your incapacity.
