What Is Estate Planning?
More than a will?
Estate planning is not just about having a will. It involves the review, management and control of your personal, family and business affairs and assets – while you are alive and when you pass away.
Estate planning can be as simple as having a will, but often involves powers of attorney, enduring guardianships and sometimes more where there are complex global, wealth and family arrangements.
A well-considered Estate Plan can cover your:

- Tax position
