Estate planning is the process done by individuals or families, arranging for the transfer of assets in anticipation of death. Death is a circumstance that we often do not want to think about, never mind ‘anticipate’, but an estate planning process done properly will ensure that loved ones and beneficiaries are left with limited procedures and hassle.
An estate plan that is prepared properly will also preserve the maximum amount of wealth possible to be passed on to beneficiaries. A major concern for drafters of estate plans is federal and state tax law, so hiring the help of an attorney experienced in estate law is advantageous in multiple ways.
