Lauren Clark | Estate Planning
Why Estate Planning
Estate planning isn't just for older adults. It's a comprehensive process that ensures your legacy will be protected and make things easier for the love ones you leave behind.
When you pass away, your family may have to make difficult decisions on your behalf. Not only will they have to figure out what to do with your assets, but they may also need to decide who will care for any young children you may have. By estate planning when you're still in good health, you can ensure that these key decisions are made according to your wishes. The process can also help your family avoid unnecessary conflict about what you would have wanted.
