Benjamin Franklin said ‘’He that hath a trade hath an estate.’’ Never underestimate the worth of what has essentially been your life’s work. Would you honestly be happy that all you have strived for and accomplished is left to the state and not those you care about?

There is however more to Estate Planning than simply ensuring you leave a Will. Your “Estate” is the total extent of your property and possessions. Estate planning is a service that anticipates and arranges the disposal of your Estate on your death. It also needs to be flexible and adjusted as your life and your Estate grows and circumstances change. These are a few essentials in the planning of any Estate.

Would you honestly be happy if all that you have strived for and accomplished does not end up in the hands of your loved ones but rather is divided by law among your extended family or possibly even left to the State?
