What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is an umbrella term for a variety of comprehensive tasks that help you manage your finances, assets and estate should you become incapacitated or pass away. Estate planning enables you to make arrangements in advance, such as naming guardians for heirs, communicating medical requests and transferring properties.
Other estate planning tasks can include:
- Inventorying assets
- Setting up trust accounts
- Naming an executor of your estate
