Estate planning is about so much more than "who gets what" when you pass away. A solid Estate Plan not only protects you, but can also protect your family members. Estate planning addresses many important issues, including:
How, and by whom, your assets will be managed for your benefit during your lifetime if you cannot handle your own affairs.
How and to whom your assets will be distributed after your death.
How and by whom your personal care will be managed (including financial and health care decisions).
Who has the legal authority to act on your behalf?
