Have you created an estate plan for yourself? Estate planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming, nerve-wracking or boring. It’s simply a method to outline your intentions for your assets and possessions if you are not able to take care of yourself or pass away. 

Why do you need an estate plan? It gives you control now over events in the future. It can involve everything from who receives your financial assets and who your possessions are given to. Distributing possessions is often one of the hardest and most emotional parts of a loved one’s passing. Having a complete inventory and clear direction makes things go much smoother for the remaining family members. 

Another word that you need to know as you step into estate planning is “probate.” This is the legal process that administers and divides your estate according to your plan or local laws. Probate is the step in the process when any outstanding debts are paid, and other disputes are settled. This is the time when paperwork with the courts or localities is done, and assets are distributed if necessary.
