3 ESTATE PLANNING PRACTICE EFFECTIVE ESTATE PLANNING allows you to decide how your assets will be distributed after your death. This includes making a detailed plan on how your assets will be managed and used for the benefit of future generations, and how your minor children will be cared for. Without an estate plan, state law will determine who inherits your property and a Judge may even decide who will raise your children. By executing a proper will, and perhaps a Trust, you can make these decisions for yourself. Creating tax minimizing strategies can also be achieved through estate planning. Estate planning is especially important for small business owners. A proper estate plan can ensure that your business continues to run smoothly following your incapacity or passing. If your goal is not for the business to continue, or if it will continue without the involvement of your loved ones, a proper estate plan can ensure that your loved ones will be fairly compensated.
