It can affect every stage of our lives, from new parents creating wills and choosing guardians for their children to older adults ensuring that their estates will pass to their heirs and beneficiaries. Additionally, it includes long-term care planning to help seniors protect their estates as much as possible if one or both spouses need long-term care services.
