Estate Planning

Estate planning involves an individual ensuring that their assets are passed onto those individuals intended by the will maker after their death. Proper estate planning requires a careful assessment by the will maker to ensure that important planning elements are considered. It should be noted that failure to put in place appropriate estate planning arrangements could result in a different distribution of assets from what the will maker intended.
