Estate Planning

Making the Most of Your Legacy

Estate planning is essential in preparing for your future, regardless of age. Though it may be challenging to think about your legacy or you believe you have years before you need to consider it, preparing now gives you and your beneficiaries peace of mind should the unthinkable occur unexpectedly. Cummings Wealth Management can assist you with devising strategies that allow you to make the most of your legacy.

What Is Involved in Estate Planning

Though drawing up a will is a critical element of a solid estate plan, it isn’t the only aspect involved in estate planning.

Part of the planning process also involves revealing your wishes for healthcare needs and end-of- life decisions and naming someone to make financial and care decisions for you should you become incapacitated.

Why Is Planning Necessary?

By taking appropriate measures, you can reduce the stress and financial burdens for your loved ones and ensure your wishes are followed. Without documentation, the state determines how to allocate your assets upon your passing. Additionally, you can take steps to reduce how much your beneficiaries pay in taxes on their inheritance.
