You don't need an estate to need an estate plan. A house in Park West, a kid in school, and a retirement account with a beneficiary line you filled out years ago and haven't looked at since — that's the whole conversation. JP Rankin leads estate and trust planning at Smith Debnam in Charleston. Wills, trusts, and making sure the paperwork says what you think it says.
