During your life you will likely accumulate money, property and other items of value. These are your assets. Taken together, these assets — also known as your estate — paint a picture of the wealth you’ve built over time.

Most estate planning starts with a will. The legal document covers what to do with your assets and provides important direction on the care for minor children.
