Writing your estate planning is a rigorous task that requires focus and the right set of documents. Aside from having the right content in front of you, at what age should you start thinking about your estate planning? 

What Is Estate Planning? 

During a person’s lifetime, estate planning involves anticipating and planning for the management and disposal of that person’s estate during life, in the event the person becomes incapacitated, and after death. 

At What Age Do You Normally Start Estate Planning? 

It is thought to begin estate planning once someone turns 60 years old. The problem with this is that 50% of Americans will never write up and start their estate planning, even when passing the age of 60. 

Here Is The Age We Recommend Begining Your Estate Planning

We recommend starting to think about your estate planning at 18. You never know when something could happen to you or your loved ones, and turning 18 in the United States makes you a legal adult who can start to make decisions on your own.
