Estate planning describes the management of transfers of assets by a family or individual. It is created to ensure the preferred distribution of wealth transfer through wills and trusts after the death of the owner. Estate planning is a critical step for any person to ensure that their wishes and conditions are respected after they pass away, and that conflicts are avoided. Without an estate plan, the state will determine the beneficiaries of your assets. By being proactive and managing the estate before it is too late, questions about split of assets, beneficiaries, tax obligations and conditions of inheritance are answered. Even practical issues such as funeral arrangements can be managed within an estate planning attorney.

The term “estate” describes all property that one person owns. This includes:

• Real estate property
• Stocks
• Bank account totals
• Life insurance
• Assets such as art, cars or other personal items

Estate planning and litigation requires a solid background in many different areas of law such as state and federal tax laws and real estate laws.
