A well established estate plan will reduce the stress placed on your loved ones after you pass. If properly created, your estate plan will allow your wishes to be carried out after you are no longer able to make your voice heard and allow you to know what your loved ones will be expecting when dealing with your property. If you desire to avoid the probate process, steps can be taken during your life to ensure that the court will not be required to assist in the transfer of your property.
