The Necessity of Estate Planning Only Increases

Although the general concept of estate planning has been around for hundreds of years, an increasingly complex global world means it’s more important now than ever. If you already have planned out your asset distribution and have a will in place, you may need to consider a couple of concerns you might have overlooked in the basic estate planning process: digital assets, pets, and aging parents. shutterstock_280234763

More individuals want to have clear plans in place for their beloved pets, and a pet trust may help you accomplish that. With more digital assets (and a whole host you probably don’t even realize you have!), planning for your digital belongings is a must today. Planning for guardianship may be something you even accomplish with your parents as well as making your own plans.

Having a comprehensive estate plan cannot be accomplished with just a few documents. You need regular engagement with an estate planning attorney to talk about your goals and to be sure that the tactics you select are in line with those goals. Don’t hesitate to set up a meeting with an estate planner today if you have overlooked one of these three categories in your planning.
