Estate Planning Is More Than Signing Documents
A will, trust, or power of attorney only solves part of the problem. The plan also has to coordinate real estate, account ownership, beneficiary designations, incapacity planning, and the practical decisions your family may someday have to make.
The goal is a plan your family can understand and use, not simply a stack of signed documents.
