WHAT IS ESTATE PLANNING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

I get so many calls regarding estate planning. Some calls are from parents with young children, single people with loved ones, couples who live together with separate assets, and couples who are married and own all assets in joint name. They vary in age, wealth, and complexity, yet one thing is always the same; they all have assets and loved ones they wish to provide for in their own specific way. Thus, they all create estate plans so that there life wishes are carried out upon their death.
