What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the process of organizing how your assets, personal wishes and important decisions should be handled during your lifetime and after your death.
A basic estate plan can include instructions for distributing property, naming beneficiaries, expressing healthcare wishes and protecting digital accounts and online assets.
Estate planning can work alongside life insurance, retirement accounts, investments and other financial products to create a more complete financial plan.
