Estate Planning with WMHT
The IRA Charitable Rollover is Back for 2013
Why do Estate Planning?
If you die without a will and/or other estate plan, your final affairs will be decided according to state law. Creating your estate plan is a great gift to those you leave behind; deciding how and where you wish to have assets distributed, working with advisors to ensure that assets are not taxed away, and naming an executor, guardians for dependents, and other specified wishes.
