An estate planner is a personal financial expert.
His or her main aim is to provide advice and services to individuals as it related to such personal assets as investments, savings, and property.
An estate planner can work on his own, within the legal community or within the financial industry.
Estate planning includes drafting a last will and trust, planning for charitable contributions, setting up trust funds, tax planning, and so on.
In the majority of cases, estate planners focus on the protection and transfer of assets after death.
Of course, a professional should be knowledgeable in wills, insurance, trust, and current tax laws.
