Why Having an Estate Plan Is Important

Making arrangements for your assets and loved ones after you pass away is a crucial process that all individuals should complete, but many put off.

Safeguards Beneficiaries

A key motivation for having an estate plan is to safeguard your beneficiaries. Without a will or estate plan, your assets will be distributed per state law after you pass away, which may contradict your intentions.

Avoids Large Taxes

Another motive for estate planning is avoiding massive taxes. The estate tax is a levy on transferring property when you die. It's charged on the value of your estate above a certain threshold, up to 40% of the value.

Protects Children

If you have underage children, estate planning is vital to guarantee their well-being if something happens to you. Without a properly created estate plan, the court decides who will care for your kids and how your assets will support them.

Provides Peace of Mind

Additionally, estate planning provides peace of mind. Knowing your affairs are in order and loved ones will be provided for if something happens gives you a sense of peace and security.
