Will and Estate
A will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimizes family disputes, and can reduce administrative and probate costs after your passing.

A will takes effect after death, while a power of attorney applies while you’re alive, allowing someone you trust to make financial or personal care decisions if you become unable to.
It’s recommended to review your will every 3–5 years, or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, having children, or acquiring significant assets.
