While nobody wants to think about death or disability, establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Proper estate planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, it can also spare your loved ones of the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become disabled.
If you become incapacitated, you won't be able to manage your own financial affairs.
Many are under the mistaken impression that one's spouse or adult children can automatically take over for them if they become incapacitated.

For many clients, estate planning also means discussing what will happen with the family farm.
There is no one-size-fits-all farm succession plan, as each family situation is unique.
For instance, some clients have a child who is farming the land and depends on it as his livelihood.
In that case, the parents may want the land to stay together in trust for as long as that adult child wants to farm.
Other families desire to protect the farming heir, but do not want to keep the land tied up for a long period of time.
