WILLS AND ESTATES
YOUR RIGHTS
Estate planning involves more than having a will. It is a means to plan how to organize, protect and preserve your assets during your lifetime such that, on your death, your assets are transferred to your beneficiaries in an orderly and tax-effective manner.
An important part of estate planning is the creation of a will. A will allows the orderly transfer of your assets on your death. It allows you to ensure that the welfare of your family, the distribution of your assets and the efficient management of your property are achieved in accordance with your wishes.
PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS
It is important to think about how you want your assets to be distributed on your death. Once you have thought about this it is possible to develop an estate plan to enable you to ensure that your wishes are carried out.
A good estate plan will address important issues with respect to the organization of your assets both during your lifetime and upon your death. A will is an essential part of a good estate plan. In addition, you may wish to consider having powers of attorney for property to allow for the management of your property in the event that you are unable to do so by yourself. A power of attorney for personal care is also advisable to protect your interests in the event that you become incapable of making decisions with respect to your personal care.
