Wills and Estate Plannning

Most Americans die without ever devising a plan to ensure their funds, property and personal effects are distributed according to their wishes. This is the worst mistake one can make in estate planning. The simplest way to ensure that your estate is distributed accordingly is to prepare a documented plan, otherwise known as a Will. Without a Will, most often your assets will be dispersed according to the beneficiaries specified in the laws of your home state, rather than those you might prefer.
