When should I start planning my estate?

There is no reason to wait for a particular age or life event. Estate planning becomes increasingly important as you acquire assets, property, financial accounts, or family responsibilities.

Question 2

I don't have an estate plan. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

Start with organization. Gather information about your assets, property, financial accounts, insurance, important documents, and the people you want involved in your plans. We can help you organize the process and identify areas that need attention.

I already have a will. Do I still need help?

Question 6

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Bring whatever information you already have. Don't worry if it is incomplete or disorganized. Part of the process is determining what information is missing and what needs to be organized.

Question 7

What if I have a complicated estate?

Accepted Answer

Every situation is different. The first step is understanding what you have and what you are trying to accomplish. When specialized legal, tax, or financial advice is required, you should work with the appropriate qualified professional.
