An estate plan, such as a will or trust, includes a set of legal documents in which you give what you want to the people you want in the way that you want. It should reflect your values. It should give you complete control over your financial and personal affairs and provide an orderly plan to help ensure the financial, emotional and physical well-being of you, your spouse and the people you love.
