planning process.
In the event of your death, it helps to ensure
your wishes are carried out. This includes:
making sure your hard-earned assets reach
their intended beneficiaries; having a trusted
administrator in place; and where minors are
involved, nominating someone to take care of
them if the worst was to happen. It should be
