Estate planning is a very important service that most people don’t think of until too late. The grief of dealing with a loss of life is a burden that can make the strongest person weep. Thoughts of funeral arrangements are often the first things that come to mind. But do you know what will happen to your personal belongings? Many people assume it will go to your next of kin, but that is not always the case. This is where an estate planning attorney makes a difference.

Estate planning involves making arrangements for your personal belongings in the event of death. Everyone has an estate, not just the extremely wealthy. Your estate is composed of any bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, retirement savings and pensions, life insurance, and even furniture.
