Estate Planning is Can Do More Than Document Your Final Wishes
Most everyone is aware that estate planning is a method for ensuring that your assets and property are distributed according to your wishes. What few people realize is that estate planning is also an essential part of maintaining control over what happens to you and those you care about before the end of life.
Estate planning can allow you to dictate what kind of medical procedures doctors will be allowed to perform if you are severely injured or incapacitated. This is known as an advance medical directive or "living will." Estate planning can also enable you to ensure that your children are cared for properly in this event.
An estate planning vehicle such as a revocable trust can also be an effective way of protecting the rights of children from a previous marriage. In this way, a well crafted estate plan can serve the same general purpose as a prenuptial agreement.
Finally, estate planning can be an effective way to protect your assets from undue tax liability and prevent the unnecessary involvement of the courts in the disposition of your estate.
