When most people hear the term “estate planning,” they think of wealthy individuals or retirees. However, the truth is that everyone—regardless of age, income, or family status—can benefit from having a well-thought-out estate plan in place.
Estate Planning Isn’t Just for the Wealthy
Estate planning is about more than just money. It’s about protecting your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are carried out if something happens to you. Whether you own a home, have children, or just want to have a say in your medical decisions, an estate plan can give you peace of mind.
Key Components of a Solid Estate Plan
What Happens Without One?
If you pass away without a will, your estate goes through a process called intestate succession. That means the state decides how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes.
Why Start Now?
Life can be unpredictable. Starting the estate planning process early means you're prepared for anything, and you can always update your documents as your life changes—marriage, children, divorce, or even buying a home.
