Anyone who owns assets, has dependents, or wants to control how assets are managed after death or incapacity should consider an estate plan.
A will directs asset distribution after death, while a trust can manage assets during your lifetime and after death, often avoiding probate.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designations are common components.
Review your plan after major life events and at least every few years to ensure it still reflects your wishes.
