Step 6: Preserve Your Estate

Estate planning involves organizing your affairs to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. Here are some key components to consider:

Regularly Review Your Plan: Your estate plan should be reviewed periodically to reflect any changes in your life circumstances or laws.

Create a Will: A will outlines how your assets will be distributed and appoints guardians for any minor children.

Establish a Trust: Trusts can help manage your assets during your lifetime and provide benefits to your heirs after your death, often avoiding probate.

Designate Beneficiaries: Make sure to update beneficiary designations on accounts such as life insurance and retirement plans to ensure they align with your estate plan.

Power of Attorney and Healthcare Proxy: These documents allow you to designate someone to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
