Estate planning is the process of arranging who will receive your assets when you die. One of the goals of estate planning is to determine who your assets go to.
Unfortunately, many people fail to set up an estate plan, even those who would benefit greatly from it. There is a huge lack of estate planning among people of all levels in today's time.

For example, if you don't provide a clear estate plan, the state will do what appears best in its judgment, which is unlikely to coincide with what you want to do.

If your children are minors, your estate plan may dictate who will care for them and how they will receive the money.
It can also protect heirs from crime if a relative would otherwise accuse them of theft. A living will can also help heirs avoid some difficult health decisions during the end of a parent's life.
