What is the estate planning process?
There are 3 main parts to the estate planning process.
1. Determine your overall personal assets as well as assets in your broader estate, held in super, trusts, life insurance and other places.
2. Consider potential risks (such as early death, divorce, loss of metal capacity) that could drastically change circumstances.
3. Plan out a framework to manage your estate that accommodates variables such as family/succession, taxation, future changes.
