What Issues Should I Consider When Creating My Estate Plan?

Overview

Building an estate plan for the first time can feel bigger than it needs to be. It usually starts with a handful of foundational questions, who you want to provide for, who you trust to carry out your wishes, before it gets into documents.

Once those goals are clear, the conversation shifts to mechanics: which strategy gets assets where you want them, with the least friction and cost along the way.
