Key Aspects of Estate Planning
-
Asset Management and Distribution: The heart of estate planning is deciding how your assets will be maintained and allocated after death or in the event they become incapacitated.

Essential Estate Planning Tasks: This includes creating a will, establishing trusts, making charitable donations to reduce estate taxes, nominating an executor and beneficiaries, and arranging funeral details.

-
Strategies to Minimize Estate Taxes: Employing various tactics, such as forming trusts or charitable giving, can effectively reduce the tax burden on your estate.
