✅ Why Estate Planning Is Important
Effective estate planning is about more than distributing your assets—it’s about protecting your family’s future and ensuring your wishes are honored. Without a proper will, your estate may be subject to intestacy laws, where state law decides asset distribution, often contrary to your intentions.
Wills & probate lawyers help you:
- Avoid family disputes
- Protect minor children or dependents
- Minimise tax burdens on your estate
- Ensure your assets are distributed efficiently
