Estate
Your estate is all your assets upon your death.
Estate planning helps ensure that
- funds will be available upon your death to payoff all debts (e.g., capital gains tax)
- beneficiaries (e.g., family, charities) receive an appropriate portion of the estate
You will probably want to get help from experts in financial risks, accounting, investments and legal matters.
