What is Estate Planning?

Estate Planning is simply the process of making it clearly known how you want your estate to be handled after you pass or if you’re incapacitated and unable to handle things on your own. The most common Estate Planning definition is — "the process of making plans for the management and transfer of your estate after your death, using a Will, Trust, insurance policies and/or other devices." Estate Planning has been around for many years, but it’s becoming increasingly more and more common.

There are many parts of Estate Planning, but the first thing you must do is conduct a comprehensive review of your estate assets. Your estate is made up of all the property you own, including cars, jewelry, houses, investments, land, and more.

To support your estate planning needs, East County Schools Federal Credit Union has partnered with Trust & Will to bring you an easy, affordable, and secure way to create an estate plan. Trust & Will, the leading online estate planning platform, has helped over half a million families in securing their legacies.
