Estate Planning
|
Estate planning is the process of establishing a plan to carry
out your wishes as to the disposition of your property before
or after your death. In general, an estate plan will
conserve your assets before and after death, distribute
property according to your wishes, provide for the liquidation
of your estate assets to meet the costs of estate settlement,
minimize federal estate and state inheritance taxes and
provide for your family’s financial needs.
