Why Estate Planning Is Important

Many people believe estate planning is only for the wealthy. The truth is: everyone over the age of 18 should have an estate plan, regardless of their financial status. Without a valid plan in place, your estate could be subject to lengthy probate, unnecessary taxes, and decisions made by the courts—not your loved ones.

Estate planning allows you to:

  • Designate who inherits your assets
  • Appoint guardians for minor children
  • Avoid probate or reduce its cost and complexity
  • Minimize estate taxes
  • Provide instructions for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated

Who Needs an Estate Plan?

Estate planning isn’t just for retirees or high-net-worth individuals. It’s for:

  • Young families looking to name guardians for children
  • Unmarried partners or LGBTQIA+ couples who want to ensure legal recognition
  • Business owners preparing for succession
  • Blended families who want to avoid conflict
  • Anyone with assets, responsibilities, or people they care about
