Estate Planning and Shipping
As morbid as the task may seem, early planning and arranging regarding the handling of your estate may help eliminate uncertainties regarding the goals you established for the estate. Also, your goals will be more clearly communicated to whomever the designated beneficiaries are in the event of your passing.

It can be difficult to face the reality of passing away, however early estate planning is your opportunity to independently decide how your estate is handled and will ultimately make the process easier for those you love. Whether you are a young adult with a family or an aging senior it will appease you to start estate planning sooner rather than later.
Early estate planning will make the following much easier to accomplish:
• Signing Documents
• Producing Clear Instructions
• Accessing Financial Records
When you start your estate planning early, you’re assuring that your adult children and other family members will not be pressured with trying figuring out your estate in the event that you become disabled or pass away. With your proactive decision to plan ahead, the process will be less stressful for your family and friends during the grieving process.
During the planning process, you will be required to sign all legal documents stating clear instructions on what is to happen with your estate –where each item will go and to whom it will go to. Also, you will need to grant someone you trust access to your financial records.
Estate planning is more than naming who should receive your items after you are no longer living, it is also an opportunity to provide instructions for other essential items.
• Passing of valuables (education, religious beliefs, etc.)
• Instructions for care if disabled
• Guardian for minors (children)
• Instruction for special needs without interrupting government benefits
• Life insurance
• Business transfer (if you own a business)
• Help to minimize legal fees
Keeping your estate plan up to date is just as important as planning ahead; your family and finances may change as life progresses; make sure to document these changes.
