It may be unpleasant to think about, but it is important to take care of your estate planning so that your assets can be divided and distributed the way you want.  Estate planning involves legal documents that will dictate how your assets are divided; simply voicing your wishes to your family will not ensure that your wishes are carried out.  By drafting wills and trusts, you can ensure that your assets will be divided according to your terms.  When drafting these documents, it helps to work with an experienced estate planning attorney.
