The Basics of Estate Planning

A basic estate plan will help a person determine:

1. What will happen to that person's financial affairs when he or she is incapacitated
2. What will happen if a person becomes unable to make medical decisions for himself
3. What happens to a person's estate when he dies

Without a properly executed will in place, the State of Georgia will decide for you where your property will go. At the time of a person's death, where does his property go, what are the emotional consequences for family members, what are the tax consequences for the estate?
