What is Estate planning ?

Estate planning is the act of preparing for the transfer of a persons wealth and assets after his or her death. Assets, life insurance, pensions, real estate, cars, personal belongings, and debts are all part of one’s estate. Estate plans must be

written, signed, and notarized by the person who owns the estate. In other words, Estate planning is simply the process people engage in to determine the disposition of their assets, either at death or incapacity. Estate planning includes planning for incapacity as well as a process of reducing or eliminating uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximizing the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses.
