Estate planning and asset protection go hand-in-hand. If you pass away, an estate plan ensures that your assets — whether that’s personal property, stocks, bonds and more — go where you want them to go.

What happens to your email after you die? What about your Facebook account? Logins and passwords for important online accounts? Protecting digital assets isn’t something most people think of when they consider an estate plan, but it’s increasingly becoming something people need.

Estate planning is one of the things we pride ourselves in at eLegacy. We walk you through every step of the process and ensure that your estate is protected when you pass away. But finalizing an estate plan isn’t the end of the road. If you include a living trust, you also have to fund it. Funding a trust just means you’re transferring your assets to the ownership of your trust. 

When it comes to estate planning, it can be hard to know where to start. There are many moving parts to an estate plan, and each one is unique because it’s crafted specifically for you. Common estate planning questions we receive are often about legal terms, what type of power of attorney people need, and how our law firm works. 

Wills, trusts, and estate plans aren’t just for those who are well off. They’re for anyone with any assets whatsoever. That includes both young and old. No matter your age or situation in life, our team at eLegacy takes the guesswork out of creating a comprehensive estate plan. 

Creating an estate plan is one of the most considerate things you can do for your family members. Not only does it protect their future assets, it makes life easier for them when you pass on. Having to deal with uncertainty when they have already lost someone important to them is the last thing your family should have to worry about when you pass away. 

When you’re young and healthy, creating a will...

Do you want to keep your family secure financially once you pass away, but don’t know how? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Most people don’t know where to start when it comes to creating a will, trust, or estate plan.

Creating a legal document that spells out what will happen to your assets after you die makes things a little easier for your family during a difficult time. What many people don’t realize, though, is that a will is often not enough. It’s a great place to start, but you’ll need a number of additional legal documents to give your family and friends peace of mind. You can do all of that with a virtual estate plan.
