How much wealth do I need before estate planning becomes important?
Estate planning matters at any wealth level, but strategies change as assets grow. While basic wills work for smaller estates, families with significant assets often explore revocable living trusts to avoid probate and maintain privacy. Federal estate taxes only apply to estates exceeding $15,000,000, but state taxes may kick in at lower amounts. The key is understanding which planning tools match your current financial situation and family goals.
