Estate Planning—Many people delay proper estate planning because they do not like thinking about death. Not many people are too wild about paperwork and procedures either. Estate Planning is generally considered the process by which people develop a plan that ensures that the assets they have worked so hard accumulating during their lifetime are protected and distributed to those they love. Wills and trusts are common mechanisms used to achieve these goals. Depending upon the size and composition of your estate, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may take a large portion of your assets. Fortunately, it’s not too late to write the IRS out of your will.
