Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and transfer of your assets during life and after death. It combines documents, designation of beneficiaries, and plans for incapacity to ensure your wishes are honored.
Core elements include a will or trust, durable power of attorney, health care directive, beneficiary designations, and a funding plan to move assets into trusts where appropriate. The process typically starts with gathering information, crafting goals, and reviewing with counsel.

Estate planning helps you decide how your assets are managed and distributed. It also allows you to appoint trusted individuals to handle affairs if you are unable to do so. A thoughtful plan helps protect your family and ensures your wishes are respected.
A basic estate plan commonly includes a will, a durable power of attorney, a health care directive, and beneficiary designations. Some plans may also include a trust depending on your goals and assets.
It is wise to review your plan at least every few years or after major life events such as marriage, birth, or relocation. Laws change, and family circumstances evolve, so updates may be needed.
