What information to prepare
- A general list of your assets (home, accounts, investments)
- Names of family members or intended beneficiaries
- Any existing will, trust, or estate documents
- Names of anyone you'd want as executor, trustee, or agent
- For probate: details about the person who passed and the estate
- Any court paperwork or deadlines
Why planning ahead matters
Estate matters run on real deadlines — probate has court timelines and creditor-claim periods, and will or trust contests must be raised within limited windows. Planning early also protects your family from cost and conflict later. The sooner a participating firm can review your situation, the more options may be available. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
