Estate planning involves creating a comprehensive plan to distribute your assets after your passing or if you become incapacitated. It is essential for anyone who wants to ensure their family’s financial well-being and that their wishes are honoured.
An estate plan typically includes a will, power of attorney, healthcare directive, and may involve trusts and beneficiary designations.
No, estate planning is for everyone, regardless of financial status. It’s about securing your family’s future and leaving a lasting legacy.
It’s advisable to review your estate plan whenever significant life events occur, like marriage, divorce, or the birth of children. Regular reviews every few years are also recommended.
