The Best Way to plan estate
Think of estate planning like making a plan for your stuff and money for when you're not around anymore. Here's how to do it in simple steps:
- Make a list of what you own
Write down everything valuable you have: money, possessions, and anything else important to you. - Choose who gets what
Decide which family members or friends should receive your belongings. - Create a Will
This is like a letter telling everyone what should happen to your stuff. You can get help from a lawyer or use online services. - Pick someone in charge
Choose a trusted adult (called an executor) who will make sure your wishes are followed. - Consider a trust
This is like a special container that holds your stuff and gives it to people according to your rules.
