Wills and Estate Planning
If you own a home, have a savings account, retirement account, or own a business, you have an estate. If you do not plan ahead and make a will, your estate may incur unecessary taxes, may take years to distribute, or your estate (or part of your estate) may go to someone other than the person(s) you intended to benefit after your death.
