Preparing your estate planCreating your estate plan will require an estate lawyer who will help you to prepare a structured agreement detailing the passing of your worldly goods to your intended beneficiaries.
Your estate plan should provide a clear outline of your intended objectives for the transfer of your estate. The intention of the process is to provide a semblance of clarity to proceedings while preventing costly potential problems such as executor disputes.
The documented agreement should contain a detailed breakdown of your liabilities as well as your assets. It should also provide details of the appointment of an estate trustee or the provision of power of attorney where applicable.
Once you have completed your estate plan you can proceed, with the help of your estate lawyer, to the drafting of your will.
In the event that you do not provide an estate plan and a will, the passing of your estate may involve higher costs and delays or complicated executor disputes.
