Estate planning is the process of making decisions and preparing legal documents to avoid probate court, save taxes, minimize professional fees and keep control in your hands as long as possible. Who needs an estate plan? Do only the wealthiest 1%? Everyone in Arizona already has one (the laws provide default rules if you don?t create a legal plan), and anyone 18 and over should at least prepare the basic documents to make their own choices. If you don't set up your own plan, you go through probate. So really, everyone should do estate planning, regardless of age, wealth, or status.
