Looking after future generations may mean different things to different people. To some it may mean making sure their wealth is passed onto their children or to the rest of their family, while to others this may mean leaving behind a legacy and making a difference to the world in the form of a charitable donation. It can even mean that there is enough money left behind to help their children get a better education or deposit for their own home.
Whatever the case may be, having an estate plan in place gives you control over who inherits your assets and provides you with peace of mind that your family is taken care of if you pass away.
This states who will inherit your assets when you pass away.
