Will/Estate Planning Referral

This might be a dumbass question, but what is the difference between a will and estate planning?

 

I have a will that leaves all my shit to my ex wife...I should probably have that updated. But at 28, unmarried with no kids, do I need an estate plan?

unless you have something very complicates...do free a one online...basic will that you have notarized will be good for most people. or pay rocket lawyer if don't trust the free ones

 

I disagree. The last thing you want to do is leave a mess in probate because you were too cheap to pay a real attorney with real experience to do the job right the first time.

 

It's not about just having a will, it's about having a document/directive for surviving relatives that prevents as much conflict as possible. Self-styled legal documents can be more harmful than helpful.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I'll be reaching out to them this week.

This. I've got a wife and daughter, house, investments, cars, etc. If something happens to me and/or my wife, everything is laid out and goes to my kid without incident. I don't want to do it myself and screw something up for her.
