What do you need to start estate planning? Which documents and professionals do you need to protect your estate and loved ones?

In estate planning, there are three key areas to consider — you, your assets, and your dependents. Have you considered who will care for you in case you become incapacitated? For your own peace of mind, it is crucial that your dependents are protected and well taken care of. Writing down a list of names is not enough. According to Patricia De Fonte, an Estate Planning Attorney, 33% of people who inherit assets lose them within three years. It is, therefore, critical to ensure the person entrusted with your assets can take good care of them to prevent losses and fights among your family and friends.
