Estate planning is the process of planning and documenting the intended transfer of assets upon death. The objective of an estate plan is to ensure the maximum amount of wealth is transferred to beneficiaries upon death with careful consideration of the federal and state tax laws.

 

The estate refers to the total property, both personal property and real property, owned by an individual prior to distribution through a will or trust. Estate planning distributes the real and personal property to an individual’s heirs.
