Why Do I Need Estate Planning 123?

• Care of those you leave behind.
• Avoid Probate at death.
• Avoid or reduce Estate Taxes.
• Peace of mind for your family and you.
• Know that your affairs will be taken care of professionally and correctly in a manner that you want them. 
• Insure that your wishes will be carried out (most estate plans do not match stated goals).
• Peace of mind for your loved ones.
• Know that your loved ones will not be burdened with trying to meet your un-stated wants and needs at a very hard time.
• Eliminate questions of ownership over your precious belongings.
• Avoid family fights.
• Keep the inlaws out of your business.
• Insure that your business carries on.  If you own your own business, is there a plan for it to continue after your death? Who will run it? How will it be operated?
