A good estate plan is one that guarantees all of your final wishes will be faithfully executed, providing you with peace of mind while providing your beneficiaries with the assets you want them to have. But estate planning is about much more than that.  Estate Planning is about what matters most to you as an individual.  It’s not just about money.  It is about family, things you want to leave people, the heritage of things that are important to you that you want to leave behind.  Estate planning also includes establishing and appointing someone to carry out your health care wishes and desires in the event that you are in an accident or you suffer some type of incurable disease or illness which renders you unable to manage your own personal medical affairs.  That is why it is essential to establish an estate plan while you are alive and well.
