What happens if I don’t have an estate plan in place?

Without an estate plan, state laws (intestacy laws) will determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. This process can be lengthy, expensive, and create complications for your loved ones. Additionally, without a will or trust, you lose control over who will manage your estate, care for minor children, or make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Creating an estate plan helps prevent uncertainty and protects your family’s future.
