What happens if I die without an estate plan?

If you die without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy in your state. This may result in assets passing to unintended beneficiaries or being subject to unnecessary taxes and probate expenses. Additionally, without a designated guardian, the court will determine who will care for your minor children. Having an estate plan in place ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and minimizes the burden on your loved ones.
