Trust and Estates
Estate Planning
It may look like a term for people of considerable wealth, but everyone has an “estate.” In fact, your car, home, other real estate, investments, checking account, and even furniture and other personal possessions comprise your estate. Naturally, you cannot keep these things when you pass away, but you can control how your estate is given to the loved ones and organizations you care about. In short, estate planning is a clear set of instructions that dictate whom you want to receive something of yours, what they’ll be receiving, and when and how they’ll receive these items.
