Felinton writes, “Most people understand the concept of retirement planning as it relates to the money you’ll have to live on after you reach a certain age and leave the work force. However,” she adds, “many more people are unaware of the importance of estate planning and fail to plan. Estate planning is about how you will be cared for in the event that you become incapacitated and how your estate will be handled when you die.” She continues, “When most people hear the term “estate plan” they think this is only for the very wealthy. Not so.”

According to Felinton, “Anyone who has worked throughout their life and has been funding a 401k plan, owns a home and other assets needs to have an estate plan. In fact, retirement planning should include a comprehensive estate plan.”

“In my experience as an Estate Planning & Asset Protection attorney,” says Felinton, “the biggest mistake I see people make over and over again is not taking advantage of the asset of time. Many people mistakenly believe they’ll have plenty of time for retirement planning once they buy a home, put children through college.” She goes on to point out how that line of reasoning leads to chronic procrastination.
