Estate planning involves management of your assets during your lifetime, to ensure the efficient distribution of your assets after death in line with your wishes. There are numerous structures which can be utilised in advance of death to reduce taxes and expenses, and avoid uncertainty, disputes or even cash shortages after death. These include Trusts, properly drafted Wills, asset restructuring, succession planning, offshoring, and tax planning. Too frequently we experience invalid or unenforceable Wills where these have self-drafted or offered as a free service, for these fail to draft the Will as part of a structured Estate Planning Exercise.
