When you die, your assets are no longer yours. They go to whomever you named in your will. The basics of estate planning involve essentially three documents. Wills are the instruments that become effective after one passes away. An executor or executrix is the person named to essentially manage the will and see that the testator’s wishes are carried out as set for in the will. A will may also designate a guardian for any minor children that survive the testator. Likewise, a will may also designate a trustee to manage the income for any minor children until they become adults. Estate planning involves having an organized approach to managing one’s assets while alive and disposing of them when one passes away.
