Estate planning in Rhode Island leans toward clarity, intention, and keeping families out of court. Wills, revocable trusts, durable powers, and living wills are essential tools. While the state’s estate tax only applies to larger estates, real property and family dynamics still require thoughtful planning. Whether preserving modest homes or managing retirement assets, Rhode Islanders rely on estate plans that express personal wishes, reduce unnecessary complications, and provide support for smooth family transitions.
