Estate planning is a topic that is often overlooked and set aside by people to think about for another day. Thinking about the end of your life is never a fun topic, but having the proper estate planning documents such as a will, living trust, powers of attorney, and other documents can help alleviate additional stress on your family members as well as ensure that your assets are distributed to who you specifically designate for the least amount of cost. Do you have an estate plan? Is it up-to-date or do documents like your trust or will need to be updated? While they may be unpleasant to think about, these are not things that you should  have and should be put off.
