No matter how large or small your estate may be — estate planning is important because it allows you to make decisions now that will ensure your property goes to who you want, the way you want and when you want once you have gone. It also saves money on taxes, court costs and attorney's fees, and it allows loved ones to mourn your loss without the burdens of unnecessary red tape and financial confusion.

Estate Planning Essentials
The two most important estate planning instruments — the tools that should be a part of every plan — are the durable power of attorney and the will. The first is for managing your property during your life, in case you are ever unable to do so yourself. The second is for the management and distribution of your property after death.
