What is an Estate Plan and why is it important?

An estate plan consists of legal documents to manage your assets and health care during your life and the distribution of your assets after your death. Every estate plan usually includes a Will, a General Durable Power of Attorney, and an Advance Health Care Directive. These documents allow you to name people to help you manage your affairs and provide instructions regarding your wishes rather than relying on the courts or state statutes.
