The term "estate" is the legal term given to all of your assets once you have passed away.
The term "assets" means the property you own and control such as real estate, stocks, bonds, cash, etc.
Assets can be tangible or intangible.
Intangible assets include such items as powers of appointment.
Simply put, estate planning is the creation of a plan or an arrangement which governs your assets during your lifetime and allows the orderly disposition of your estate after your death without the cost, delay, and burden often associated with expensive and lengthy probate proceedings.

The basic legal document of estate planning is a Will.
In its simplest form, a Will is your Last Letter of Instruction.
It contains your instructions about who will handle your affairs once you are gone and who is going to receive your estate and in what proportions.
If you have minor children, a Will is the instrument by which you appoint a guardian to look after them.
Numerous studies show 50% of Americans do not have a Will and have not met this most basic requirement of estate planning.
As an interesting footnote, four U.S. presidents died without a Will, including Abraham Lincoln, who you will recall, was a lawyer.

A Living Revocable Trust is a legal document that resembles a Will.
It contains an individual's instructions for his or her assets in the event of disability and directions for the distribution of assets upon death.
After the Trustor creates the Trust, they change the title on their assets from their name individually to their name as Trustee of their Trust.
During the Trustor's lifetime, assuming no disability, they control the assets in this Trust.
The Trust does not have to file a tax return or pay taxes.
