What Is Estate Planning—And Why Is It So Important?

Estate planning is the process of organizing your personal, financial, and medical wishes in case of death or incapacity. It allows you to:

• Decide how your assets will be distributed

• Avoid confusion and conflict among loved ones

• Name guardians for minor children

• Appoint trusted individuals to make financial and medical decisions

• Protect your estate from unnecessary taxes, probate, and delays

• Leave a legacy aligned with your values

It’s not just for the wealthy—anyone with a family, property, or assets needs an estate plan.
