What are the benefits of forming an estate plan?

It is common for people to be hesitant when it comes to creating an estate plan. This is because they must consider what will happen to their hard-earned assets and loved ones if they pass away or become incapacitated. While estate planning can be a daunting task, you never know when an unexpected event in life may occur. Having a thorough estate plan in effect could protect your loved ones and assets. One of the primary benefits of an estate plan is that it can help prevent your assets from having to be probated once you are no longer around to care for your family. The probate process can be one fraught with contention and bitterness, but with an estate plan, you can successfully avoid it.

When you create an estate plan, you must include a variety of things:

  • Instructions for passing on your valuables
  • Care instructions in the event that you become disabled before you pass away
  • Guardianship for your children
  • Inheritance manager for your minor children
  • Special provisions for family members with special needs
  • Life insurance to provide for your family
  • Long-term care, or disability benefits
  • Provisions for the transfer of your business if you retire, become disabled, or die
  • Plans to minimize tax liability

Gene highly suggests that his clients consistently update their estate plans, when applicable. In instances of major life events, such as a marriage, divorce, death, or adoption, considering a change in an estate plan will be vital to ensuring that your loved ones receive the proper inheritance once you pass away.
