Why Plan Your Estate?
If you postpone planning until it is too late, you run the risk that your intended beneficiaries — those you love the most — may not receive what you would want them to receive.
Providing for Your Pet with a Trust
A pet can be a member of the family, but what happens to your pet after you are gone? How can you ensure your pet will be cared for?
Who Can Serve as Executor?
One important reason to have a will is to be able to name your executor (also called a personal representative). An executor is the person responsible for managing the administration of your estate after you die.
What Is a Trust Protector, and When Might You Need One?
A trust protector is someone who is appointed to watch over a trust that will be in effect for a long time and ensure that it is not adversely affected by any changes in the law or circumstances.
