Estate planning is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family’s financial future. Without a proper plan in place, your loved ones could face unnecessary stress, disputes, or financial hardship after your death.

When a person passes away, their assets – whether movable (like money or cars) or immovable (such as property) – are distributed to the beneficiaries named in their valid will (testate succession). Sometimes, the will specifies that assets must be divided among heirs, such as siblings, and that the remainder should pass to their children.
