Estate planning is an important step to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes among your family.  There are numerous factors to consider in estate planning and simply informing others of your wishes does not always mean they will be carried out.  Wills and trusts are legal documents that outline the plan for the division of your assets and their terms must be carried out.  To ensure that all needs will be legally met, you must work with an experienced wills and trust attorney to help with your estate planning.
