Estate planning is the process of preparing your personal and real property for the passage to those who you wish to benefit. The creation of a will, trust, or a combination of the two are the mechanisms which enable you (rather than the state legislature) to
designate who will receive your property during and after your lifetime. By taking a proactive approach to the planning process, your estate can avoid tax consequences and possibly the need to submit your estate to a formal probate.

Do you need a Last Will and Testament?
