What is estate planning?
Estate planning enables you to get your finances and assets in order to ensure that your family is well provided for after you are gone. Estate planning is about more than just financial arrangements, though that is often a big part of it. It is about giving yourself and your loved ones peace of mind that the future is well planned and provided for.
Estate planning is about organising your assets in a tax-efficient way and making arrangements for how they will be managed and distributed after your death. This includes property, stocks and shares, life insurance, debts and any other valuable assets such as cars and paintings. For many, estate planning is about preserving wealth, ensuring children and grandchildren are provided for and/or leaving behind a donation to a charitable cause.
The first and most basic step in estate planning is making a Will to outline how you want your estate distributed after your death. However, estate planning goes further than this to include active preparations to help plan for tax obligations and establish wishes, such as guardians of children and funeral arrangements.
