The Goals of Estate Planning

 

The goals of estate planning are financial and personal in nature. From a financial perspective, careful estate planning can help avoid or reduce estate taxes and preserve a larger share of your legacy for the intended beneficiaries. Assets gifted during life in a correct manner and assets deeded to family members through a trust can have significant tax advantages.      

 

The personal goals of time savings, family protection and general peace of mind are also a powerful benefit of estate planning. The goals of a carefully drafted will include avoidance of probate and a smooth transfer of property to your intended beneficiaries. Trust instruments can provide security for a child or loved one in need of continued support and financial supervision.
