Estate planning is all about being diligent in the care and maintenance of all that you have worked for during your lifetime. It is also an extension of following through with your responsibilities and fulfilling your obligations. Your first responsibility in planning your estate is to yourself, and your spouse, and your children. It is important to ensure that both you and your family are provided for at any time.
Although, it is unnecessary to have a spouse and/or child to require effective estate planning, being married with children almost mandates a comprehensive estate plan. This means using a will, a revocable trust, and powers of attorney; life insurance, health insurance, and long term care insurance; IRAs and annuities; and other means to be sure that you and your family's needs are met.
The word PLAN is very important. It is the key to protecting your estate and your loved ones.
If you desire to avoid or minimize estate taxes, keep your assets in the family, distribute family assets or personal mementos according to your wishes, and retain the ability to make other choices, you must have a plan. Estate planning is all about you, your family, and your estate.
It's about taking responsibility to ensure that your assets, everything you own and control, is preserved and used for the benefit of those you love. Finally, estate planning is about life. Through an effective estate plan, you can live on, in and through your family, your estate, your hopes and plans and dreams. Your estate will prosper---only if you plan.
