While many people believe that estate planning is only necessary for people who are particularly wealthy, have detailed plans for passing their assets, or people who are ill and contemplating their death, this is simply not true. Estate plans are for every mother, father, grandparent, business owner, husband, wife, or anyone who has someone they care about. Estate planning is often seen as “death planning,” but in reality, it can be rewarding for all individuals involved. Estate planning can be a way for you to have peace of mind today and make a lasting difference in the lives of loved ones.

Estate planning should be done for anybody with minor children. Any parent with a minor child should have an estate plan to protect their children in the event of the parent’s death or disability. If a plan does not exist, the court will decide for you what happens and how your assets may or may not be used by or for the benefit of your children.
