Getting Started

Preparing your estate plans does not need to be cumbersome or complicated. Here are some steps to help you begin:

First, gather information about your assets, including retirement funds, bank accounts, and real property.

Second, think about the people and organizations that matter most to you and how you would like to provide for them.

Third, think about who you would like to serve as your executor or trustee.

Fourth, meet with a professional. If you do not have an attorney in mind, your local bar association can make a referral.
