A primary purpose of estate planning is to distribute your assets according to your wishes after your death. Successful estate planning transfers your assets to your beneficiaries quickly and usually with minimal tax consequences. The process of estate planning includes inventorying your assets and making a will and/or establishing a trust, often with an emphasis on minimizing taxes.  

Do I Need to Worry? 

You may think estate planning is only for the wealthy. From a tax stand point, if your assets are worth $1,000,000 or more, estate planning will benefit your heirs. Even if your estate is not likely to be subject to federal estate taxes, estate planning is still necessary to be sure your intentions for the disposition of your assets are carried out. Adding up the value of your assets can be an eye-opening experience. By the time you account for your home, investments, retirement savings and life insurance policies you own, you may find your estate in the taxable category. 

Estate “little known” facts:
