Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the disposal of an estate during your life. Estate planning typically attempts to eliminate uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximize the estate's value by reducing taxes and other expenses. Guardians are often designated for minor children and beneficiaries in incapacity.
