Nearly everyone has an estate. Your estate is made up of everything you own: your car, investments, checking and savings accounts, home, mineral interests or other real estate, life insurance, and other possessions. Some assets directed by your will or titled to your name must go through probate before they are distributed to your heirs.
What is estate planning?
Estate planning is not only the management and distribution of your assets in the event of your death. An estate plan also assists you in providing instructions for your care should you become incapacitated, can be used to identify a guardian for minor child(ren), outline the transfer of your business at your incapacity or death, and many other important considerations.
