Explore the Importance of Estate Planning

Estate planning encompasses a number of essential aspects that will allow your belongings to be distributed how you want them when you are no longer here. Your estate consists of all the property you own at death before it is distributed. Every person’s estate is different. Yours may contain your house or other real estate, bank accounts, jewelry, vehicles, collections, and more. However, every person is different.

Estate planning includes drafting a will, designating a beneficiary, as well as an advance health care directive. The decisions of how you wish to be cared for medically if you are ever unable to communicate them to your loved ones can also be included in estate planning.

If there is no estate plan, the state will decide what will happen to your assets and divide them among your family members. However, creating a plan for how you wish your assets should be divided and to whom should receive them will make it easy to look after your loved ones after you’re gone. It also lessens the stress of your family having to decide amongst themselves as to who should receive what and how much. Estate planning can also help to minimize the taxes on the assets you leave behind.

You can start working on your estate plan at any time and if you would like assistance in this process to ensure you’re completing everything properly from a legal standpoint, be sure to get in touch with one of the lawyers from Napierski, VanDenburgh, Napierski & O’Connor, LLP, serving the Albany, NY area. If a significant life event occurs, including having a child or grandchild, getting divorced, obtaining new property, or other circumstances, you should have your estate plan updated to account for these changes.
