Estate planning is a broad term that covers a variety of services, including but not limited to:
Wills
Powers of Attorney
Trusts
Beneficiary designation
Estate and Gift tax planning
EVERYONE should at least consult with an attorney about estate planning. A simple meeting or document now could affect your whole life at a later date. Getting powers of attorney in place can save you from losing your rights in a guardianship later if your health declines. Wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations can save your family a fortune in probate fees and estate taxes. These are simple things that you can do now to protect yourself later.
