What Is Estate Planning?

Estate Planning is the process of deciding how the assets of a person can be managed and distributed in not just an orderly but profitable manner during his/her lifetime and in the event of his/her death or incapacity. An estate plan covers risk and financial management towards an eventual transfer of assets during and after a person's lifetime.

A proper estate plan involves strategies to minimize potential estate taxes and settlement costs as well as to cordinate what would happen with an individual's home, investments, business, employee benefits and other property in the event of death or disability.

In simple terms, estate planning involves preparing for the transfer of an individual's wealth and assets in the event that the individual dies,retires, or becomes incapacitated.
