Financial protection along with estate planning are steps that can give us all peace of mind in the long term. If you haven't considered it yet, Entrepreneur Network partner Brittney Castro recommends taking some time to consider planning your estate to ensure you are prepared for anything that may come along, financially.

One step you can take is hiring an estate planning attorney. By bringing in a professional, you can more easily navigate a jungle of legal documents.

During estate planning, Castro recommends letting yourself give in to emotion. Do not feel you have to remain stony-faced throughout the entire duration of the process. Castro warns that feelings are normal and opening up emotionally can be cathartic.

Finally, have a conversation with your trustees. You and your attorney have worked hard to get the legal documents together -- so don't forget to give copies to your trusted parties.
