Abstract
Estate planning involves advanced planning for managing and distributing one’s assets following their passing. It entails identifying inheritors among individuals or entities and establishing measures to ensure the seamless execution of these wishes, aiming to minimize future complications. Estate planning documents often used to distribute assets after one’s passing are wills, trusts, and other legal documents. While these documents may serve as a roadmap for asset distribution, they may not invariably preclude disputes or conflicts among beneficiaries or family members.
