Can My Financial Professional Help?
Many people tell us they have already done Estate Planning with their financial advisor, banker, or CPA. There are two aspects to estate planning – legal and financial.
Financial advisors, bankers, CPAs, and other financial professionals can assist you with the management and growth of your assets. They cannot assist you with the legal work necessary to establish an Estate Plan. Only an attorney can do that.
How Will Estate Planning Help?
Control
Proper Estate Planning ensures the necessary legal documents are in place to keep you in control of your assets as long as you are able, and then put people you trust in control when you are no longer able. Your Estate Plan will provide sufficient instructions to guide those you trust.
Protection
