The primary benefit of estate planning is making sure that your loved ones are taken care of after you’re gone. With a proper estate plan in place, you’ll make sure that they receive the monetary support that you want them to have, and that there is a plan in place for taking care of any unfinished business and debts that you yourself had. This prevents your family from having to make such hard decisions on your behalf, and frees them up to be with one another and focus on processing their grief together.
