Estate Planning
Before beginning to plan your estate, it’s good to know what an estate
entails. What is an estate? An estate is a total property, real or personal, owned by an individual
prior to distribution through a trust or will. The real property is real estate and personal property
includes everything else, for example cars, household furnishings and bank accounts. Estate planning
distributes the real and personal property to an individual’s heir(s).
Similar to retirement planning, a great deal goes into planning your estate and needs to take into account your property diversification, family and lifestyle obligations, such as medical care for a loved one and your interests, such as charitable efforts.
