What Is Estate Planning?

Estate Planning is the process of detailing how you want your affairs to be managed after you have passed away or are otherwise unable to handle them yourself.  This generally involves reviewing your current financial position, the assets you own and how you would like these distributed among you’re your loved ones.

Importance of Wills and Estate Planning

Wills and Estate Planning are both very important to ensure your affairs are managed the way you want. Without a Will or Estate Planning the relevant legislation dictates what happens once you have passed away.  This can often mean that you estate ends up being managed in a different way to what you would want to have happen.

Why Is A Will Important?

Having a Will is important.  If you don’t have a Will before you die the law steps in and dictates how your assets will be distributed.  This means that your wishes won’t be taken into consideration and can result in additional costs, delays and complications for loved ones.

Why Is Estate Planning Important?

Estate Planning is important to ensure your affairs are managed the way you intend; without Estate Planning the law dictates what happens and this may be very different to what you would want to have happen.
