The Estate Planning Process Behind the Scenes
Estate planning can seem like a daunting process. There’s a lot to consider—do you need a trust, or is a will sufficient? What’s the difference between them? Who should you name to take care of minor children in the event that you can’t take care of them? Who should you name to take care of you in the even that you can’t take care of yourself? Isn’t estate planning just for the wealthy?
