Isn’t estate planning just for the rich? Our estate is not worth much. Do we still need estate planning?

Estate planning is not just about money and assets. It is about making decisions that will protect you and your family in the event of many “what if” situations. Even if you believe your estate would be negative after all debts are added up, these documents still provide valuable protections. They also provide a way to notify your family of your wishes and take away some of the stress of making difficult decisions on your behalf. Kimbro Legal Services provides a worksheet that assists you in estimating the value of your estate. Many clients are surprised when they add up all of their assets just how much they have accumulated in both probate and non-probate items.
