Creating an estate plan is essential to protect your wealth and ensure your wishes are followed after your death. Without an estate plan, your assets may go to the state and be divided according to their rules. An estate plan includes documents like a revocable living trust, wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. These documents help designate beneficiaries, executors, and decision-makers in case of incapacitation. It's important to update your estate plan regularly to account for changes in assets, family dynamics, and new considerations like genetic material and pets. Beneficiary designations on accounts can override the will, so it's crucial to review and align them with your estate plan. The hosts also highlight the need for a comprehensive retirement plan tailored to individual goals and the importance of understanding the purpose of money in retirement. They discuss the qualities to look for in a financial advisor, including fiduciary status, listening skills, and a comfortable and responsive environment.
