Here are the top reasons to have an estate plan:
Control who receives your assets
Decide who inherits your home, bank accounts, investments, vehicles, business interests, and personal belongings.
Avoid state laws deciding who gets what if you don't have a plan.
Protect your family
Ensure your spouse, children, or other loved ones are financially provided for.
Prevent disputes among family members by clearly documenting your wishes.
Avoid or simplify probate
Certain estate planning tools, such as a living trust, can help reduce the time, expense, and public nature of probate.
Even with a will, a well-organized estate often moves through probate more efficiently.
Choose who makes decisions if you're incapacitated
A financial power of attorney allows someone you trust to manage your finances.
A healthcare power of attorney lets someone make medical decisions if you're unable to do so.
