Even with help, there is a possibility that estate planning can be stressful. It’s important to know ways to reduce that stress, though, so you can move forward with the estate-planning process.
At first, you may feel like you’re not even sure where to start. It’s normal to feel that way. When you start to draw up an estate plan, the first step is to get in touch with your attorney. You can have a consultation and discuss the type of documents and information you need to begin planning as well as what to expect. Additionally, you may want to work with a financial advisor who can help you create arrangements such as trusts.
It’s important to work on your estate plan
Although you may be under the impression that you have plenty of time to complete an estate plan, the reality is that no one knows how long they’ll live or when the estate plan will be needed. Estate plans can also have important documents such as those dictating who is to be your health-care proxy if you’re injured or unable to make decisions for yourself. You shouldn’t leave the decision on who that person is to chance.
An estate plan gives you better control over your assets and helps you determine how you’d like to divide your assets in the future.
