Strive to ensure that individual wishes are carried out — and that heirs receive assets in a way that minimizes estate, gift, income, and other taxes.
Personal planning can be thought of as a series of tasks that serve to manage an individual’s resources in the event of incapacitation, death, disability, or divorce, including the bequest of assets to heirs and the settlement of estate taxes.
