Your estate is comprised of everything you own— your car, home, other real estate, checking and savings accounts, investments, life insurance, furniture, and personal possessions.
Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and distribution of your estate during your lifetime and after your death.
Setting up a reliable estate plan, complete with key documents, such as a trust and durable power of attorney, is one of the most important steps any person can take during their lifetime to ensure that their final property and health care wishes are honored, and that loved ones are properly provided for.
