Myth: I don't have anything to leave to anyone, so I don't need estate planning. Truth: Estate planning is more than just disposing of your “stuff.” An important aspect of estate planning that is often overlooked is incapacity planning. A last will and testament (“will”) only becomes effective upon your passing through the probate process.
