You are probably well aware of all the reasons to develop an estate plan. However, many people often delay the process of moving forward. The expense and time commitment that can come with enduring the estate planning process often seems daunting for many. However, it’s important that you not delay the process any longer. Making the commitment to develop your estate plan with a Wilton, Connecticut elder lawyer from Sweeney Legal, LLC can give you and your family the benefit of knowing that there is a clear plan in place should you become incapacitated in any way or, pass away.
An Estate Plan Versus a Last Will and Testament
It’s not uncommon for people to interchangeably use estate plans and wills as if they are the same thing. It’s important to realize that these are not the same. A will is only one component to an estate plan. A will allows you to leave your assets to beneficiaries, identify a guardian for your children and create a plan for the distribution of your estate. An estate plan looks at much more than this. The bigger picture that an estate plan provides is key to ensuring that your wishes are fully outlined for your loved ones in the event of your passing.
