  • Appoint Guardians for Minor Children: Ensure that your children are cared for by the people you trust most if something happens to you.
  • Minimize Estate Taxes and Expenses: Proper estate planning can reduce the tax burden on your estate, preserving more of your wealth for your heirs.
  • Avoid Family Disputes: Clearly stating your intentions in a legal document can help prevent disputes among your family members after your passing.
