• Ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes: If you don't have an estate plan, the state will decide how your assets are distributed after your death.
• Protecting your children: An estate plan allows you to name a guardian for your children in the event that you are no longer able to take care of them.
• Protecting your assets from taxes and creditors: There are a number of estate planning tools that can be used to help you protect your assets from creditors and reduce your estate tax liability.
• Protecting your assets from probate: Probate is a lengthy and expensive process, but there are a number of estate planning tools that can help you avoid it.
