Each individual is different and so has needs. From close friends to even siblings would have different desires, priorities and responsibilities. Similarly, the need for estate planning would also differ from person to person. A customized estate plan is what is required to fulfill their goals.
What is estate and succession planning? It is the process of anticipating and arranging for the disposal of your assets during or after your lifetime. An estate plan includes management, preservation and legacy of your assets.

There are two main instruments for estate planning: will and trust A will is a static document that comes into play on the demise of an individual. It carries all your wishes as to how your wealth would get distributed and in what percentage. This does not leave your family members in ambiguity as to what one would get.

Trust, on the other hand, is a relationship whereby assets, moveable or immovable, are transferred by one party (called settlor) to be held by another party (called trustee) for the benefit of a third party (called beneficiary).

Well-developed estate planning can avoid family feuds, protect the wealth from getting eroded due to litigation or divorce, appoint a guardian for minor children in your absence, provide for any special needs for dependents, consolidate and demarcate between personal and business income, ensure that family business continues successfully in the same or better manner, optimize global taxation where the children are settled abroad and also control teenagers from losing direction at a soft age. It would also aid in a medical emergency where you are incapacitated and not in a position to take decision for yourself or in your old age when you need to rest and enjoy your retired life peacefully. Last, but not the least, it would also add value in fulfilling your philanthropic aspirations.

Estate planning is required by each one of us regardless of age or social standing. You could be a part of a large family or a large business house with crossholding of assets, a single or nuclear family, family with no legal heirs or even NRI beneficiaries, someone with one house or several houses.

Most of us have a similar thought that after me everything would go to my spouse or vice versa, but even to fulfill this basic wish you need to express this in some form of instrument, that is a will.

If one dies intestate (that is without a will), the assets would get distributed as per their personal law. For example, if you are a Hindu, the assets of the husband after his demise would get distributed between all his legal heirs in equal proportion and your wish to give everything to your wife after you is defeated. In other words, estate planning will only make life simple for you during your life and easy for your chosen heirs in your absence.

It is not important how much wealth you have, what's important is how much that wealth is valuable to you.
