Idaho Estate Planning Basics
- Your estate consists of everything you own, whether that involves:

- vehicles
- savings
- retirement account and other investments

A properly-executed estate plan ensures that all that you've built during a lifetime will be passed down to the beneficiaries you designate, in a manner in which you design. This is done through such legal instruments as wills, living wills, and living trusts.
The Advantages of an Estate Plan
A properly executed estate plan provides you with many benefits. Not only are your beneficiaries protected but it can help to avoid probate and minimize legal problems, taxes, and other fees. Through such devices as Powers of Attorney or health care directives, it can provide instructions as to what kind of medical care you wish to have should you become incapacitated or terminally ill and name a trusted person to care for your financial and / or medical matters. Other benefits include provisions for the transfer of a business or for life insurance for your family and the naming of a guardian for minor children. All of your estate planning decisions can remain ongoing and should be updated as your situation changes throughout the duration of your life.
