If you have minor children, talk to your attorney about the specific documents you'll want to have as part of your estate planning.

Estate planning is the process of deciding how your estate will be distributed and to whom. The first step in creating an estate plan is a living will. Without a living will, your estate is subject to intestacy.

A trust can be a particularly good idea for someone who is unmarried and doesn't have children, because it gives you security that your assets will be distributed exactly the way you want. It can also specify your wishes in the event that you become unable to make decisions yourself.
