Estate Planning

Estate planning includes all the planning that's involved for setting up a will, a trust and making sure that your assets go to the people or organizations that you want to have them. Estate planning is complex -- you should consider taxes when making plans for your assets to go to your heirs. If you don't do estate planning you risk having your belongings managed by the state where you live, and your state's laws may not match exactly what you want. Estate planning is especially important in blended families.

Once you have thought about these issues, you can proceed to decide how you should hold title to your real estate and whether to include a friend or not.
