Comprehensive estate planning is more than just a process of preparing a will and power of attorney to be used in the event of death or disability. The proper estate planning process involves an evaluation of the individual's and family's entire financial situation, unique objectives, health conditions and financial concerns, a careful analysis of the asset preservation opportunities, and a consideration of the family's dynamics and relationships among the beneficiaries. Each of these aspects plays an important role in the creation of a comprehensive estate plan.
