The objective of estate planning is often described as: “I want to control my property while I'm alive, take care of myself and my loved ones if I become disabled, and give what I have, to whom I want, the way I want, and when I want. Furthermore, if I can, I want to save every last tax dollar, professional fee, and court cost legally possible.”
