If you are like most people, you hear the phrase "estate planning" and think that that is only something that old people need to worry about. This is a terrible misconception. The truth of the matter is, it is important for all adults - young or old, married or unmarried, children or no children - to have at least a basic estate plan.

Living trusts are one of the most utilized estate planning tools; however, they are one of the most commonly misunderstood documents.

There are certain life events that warrant having your estate plan reviewed and updated, if necessary.  

A common question I hear from my clients is: “where should I keep my estate planning documents?” Often, the first thought people a have is to put important documents in safe deposit box. Makes sense, right? Wrong!
