What is Estate Planning?

Whether you realize it or not, you have an estate to take care of. From insurance policies and investments to your material assets and beyond, this is everything you’ve worked hard to earn over the course of your life. Estate planning is the process of ensuring that your assets will be managed and distributed exactly the way you want - even when you are no longer here.

​

The most well-known part of an estate plan is having a will, but that’s just one piece of the puzzle. Thom & Associates, alongside your other planning professionals (such as your accountant and lawyer) will create a custom estate plan that offers peace of mind for you and your family.
