  What is Estate Planning? Estate planning is the process of organizing and preparing for the distribution of your assets and property after you pass away. It is an important step in ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of and that your wishes are carried out according to your desires.

        World of Finance by M.Vijaya Sai Round one in the unseemly quarrel between two financial regulators — the Securities and Exchange Board of India, or Sebi, and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, or IRDA — on who should supervise ULIPs (unit-linked insurance plans), has gone to IRDA. The government has brokered a temporary truce, leaving the matter to be settled in court. But, for IRDA, it may turn out to be a case of winning a battle but losing the war. The debate is whether ULIPs, which are nothing but mutual fund schemes with the added protection of an insurance cover, should be regulated by Sebi or by IRDA. Sebi, the capital markets regulator, has pointed out that the attributes of ULIPs are very different from traditional insurance products, which is correct.
