The Basics of Estate Planning
The common misconception of estate planning is that you must be wealthy to have an estate. However, the truth is, if you own any assets, regardless of their value, you have an estate and need to plan, or your resident state will do it for you. In this presentation, we will discuss the importance of a basic estate plan in order to avoid your property ending up in the hands of the government and to ensure that your wishes are carried out during your lifetime and beyond.
