The Estate Planning process can seem intimidating. It involves making decisions that will affect your family for years to come. Who receives the assets you’ve worked a lifetime for? Who will be the guardian of your minor children? How do you ensure that the assets you leave your loved ones do not cause more harm than good / are not lost to some undeserving creditor or divorcing spouse? The pressure and nuances of making the right choices for the future are one of the reasons some people put the estate planning process off. Others assume their estate is not large enough or that this is only something the elderly or ill do. People find excuses and end up procrastinating, often until it is too late. However, ensuring you have a well drafted and maintained estate plan today is crucial, not only for you and your property, but for your family.
