Many people never explore the full potential of tax planning, which should be a continuous process. Knowledge of the dynamics of tax planning should be a part of every financial plan. Tax planning is usually the least discussed area of wealth management, yet it can have a major impact on finances. Considering that a person can lose up to 80% of everything they have worked for (under the right circumstances) to a tax bill, it makes sense to give tax planning strategies a place in your wealth management plan. The right moves now can save you money in both the short and long term.

Simply put, your estate is everything you own. Estate preservation is an ongoing process. A thorough plan should be implemented as soon as possible and reviewed periodically, especially when a major life change occurs, such as marriage or divorce. Depending on the size of your estate, and your state of residence, planning needs may vary greatly. Regardless of whether you will be dealing with probate or tax issues, proper planning is imperative. According to the Federal Citizen Information Center, about half of all Americans die without having a will, let alone an estate plan. The result of this inaction has cost many families dearly. Without a will to indicate your wishes, the court steps in and distributes your property according to the laws of your state.
