Estate planning is something many of us don’t want to discuss – it can be difficult to talk to your loved ones about what will happen in the event of your death. However, that difficult conversation is worth having, even if you think you don’t have much in terms of assets or liabilities. Let our trained staff walk you through all of the necessary steps, and give you information on how to best approach the topic.

Planning for the future of your estate ensures that there is a plan for your assets, and that your loved ones are not left with debts. Estate planning in the Hayter & Associates office is highly personal and unique to each individual, which is why we recommend sitting down with one of our trained staff to discuss all that is involved. Even if you have Powers of Attorney and a Will, there may be more to the picture than you realize. From taxes on estates, disbursement of assets, filing the final tax return, and every other step – we are here to help you plan to eliminate the uncertainties around your estate.

Yes of course! Your estate is essentially your net worth – the sum of your assets less your liabilities (or debts). Your estate will change throughout your life as you acquire assets and take on liabilities so it is good to keep up with estate planning throughout your lifetime. Your assets (which is what you own) can include savings, investments, trusts, personal real estate, and other high value goods like vehicles. Your liabilities can include credit card debt, a mortgage, student loans, and any other indebtedness.
