Orlando, FL estates & probate attorney Jim Flick talks about estate planning and why it’s important. He points out that estate planning is guided by universal principles that apply to individuals of all financial backgrounds. It starts with ensuring that clients maintain control over their personal care and assets while they are alive and competent. Estate planners work with clients to create a strategy for potential incapacity, designating trusted individuals to manage their financial affairs and oversee their well-being. The process also involves arranging for assets to be distributed according to the client’s wishes, minimizing court involvement, taxes, and associated costs. Estate planners assist clients in establishing trusts, wills, and other essential documents to achieve their goals and ensure the estate plan functions as intended.
