3.Are kids involved? Or grandkids? A minor child can only inherit funds through a legally established guardianship. If you haven't established one, the Court will appoint a guardian of the child's estate. Proper estate planning can preclude Court intervention and supervision.

Appropriate planning will pro- tect your heirs from an unfortunate situation. 4.Will you have enough retirement savings to retire? Unless you work at a single company for your en- tire career, it's easy to amass several different retirement accounts. Consolidating accounts can be a smart way to simplify your retirement planning and ensure your in- vestment decisions regarding retirement assets are aligned with your financial objectives. Having professionals in- volved in your investment decisions can be a smart way to secure a strong financial future for yourself and the loved ones who will survive you.
