Many people believe that estate planning is nothing more than a way to determine “who gets what” when you pass away. While this is of course part of it, comprehensive estate planning provides for much more than just the distribution of assets. Estate Planning allows you to control your property while alive and able, to protect yourself and family in the event of disability, and to give what you have to whom you want, the way you want, and when you want while minimizing applicable taxes and fees.
