Estate planning is the process of arranging how your assets will be managed and distributed. It helps protect loved ones, minimize taxes, and prevent disputes after death. A well crafted plan ensures guardianship, care, and financial decisions align with your values. In Maryland, proper documents guide successors with clarity and authority. Regular reviews keep the plan current as life changes.
Key documents typically include a will, a trust if appropriate, a durable power of attorney, and a health care directive or living will. Beneficiary designations should be reviewed and coordinated with the overall plan. Our team explains the role of each document and how they work together in Maryland.
