WHAT IS AN ESTATE PLAN?
Your estate is the accumulation of everything you own: your car, real estate, checking accounts, saving accounts, furniture, life insurance, investments, and personal possessions such as artwork or jewelry.
An estate plan encompasses your instructions for what you want to happen to everything you own after you die. Beyond that, an estate plan can also specify burial instructions, help lay out plans if you become disabled, and allow you to prepay for your final expenses.
