Estate planning is a process of managing and protecting your assets and making sure that your wishes are carried out in the event of your death or incapacity. It typically involves drafting a will, setting up trusts and other legal documents, and having an executor appointed to manage your estate.

 

Estate planning is best done early in life, but can be done at any age and can be revisited as your life circumstances change. By taking the time to plan your estate, you can ensure that your wishes are respected in the event of your death or incapacity.
