Estate planning is all about one’s assets and those they love. Unfortunately, both of these factors create challenges in some instances. For example, some people are unsure about the type of estate plan to set up, which is often harder when a spouse or child disagrees with their decision to set up a will or a certain type of trust. There are many other reasons why people disagree with aspects of their loved one’s estate planning decisions, such as the way in which they intend to divide their assets or the person they put in charge of the estate plan.
