Everyone, no matter how much money they have, also needs to have care decisions made. All of these issues are part of estate planning.

It is the misconceptions that get in the way of proper estate planning. People think that they do not need to engage in the process because they do not have a large estate. They might also think that estate planning is too difficult for them to successfully complete.
