Protecting you and your family during your lifetime and at your death are the real goals of Estate Planning. Preserving as much of the value of your assets as possible by avoiding unnecessary expenses, costs, fees and taxes provides the most for you and your family during any incapacity you may experience while living and then at your death. Estate Planning allows you to direct how, to whom and when your assets will be distributed. Estate Planning should include identifying and keeping track of your assets on an ongoing basis and keeping track of changes in your life and family as you proceed through it.
