If you’re like most people, you may think estate planning means simply getting your will done.But will preparation is only part of estate planning, and leaving it at that can impose severe implications for those you leave behind.A simple will that merely splits your assets amongst your surviving spouse and/or children fails to establish special structures that can potentially save your family thousands of dollars in tax every year. Further, a simple will provides no asset protection for your surviving spouse or children, and it doesn’t take into account your changing circumstances.
