Believe it or not, you have already done some estate planning. If you have ever purchased real estate, titled a vehicle, or named a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, you have done estate planning. Obviously, if you have signed a Last Will and Testament, you have done estate planning.
But, even if you have not made your own Will, there is a plan for the disposition of your property at the time of your death. It may not be the way you want, but there is a plan.
