Why do people avoid Estate Planning?

It is most likely the subject matter of death, incapacity and taxes that causes most people to avoid Estate Planning.  Unfortunately, no matter your age, health or how much wealth and assets you have accumulated, you need an estate plan to protect yourself, your loved ones and your assets.  A family trust can accomplish this goal now as well as after your death. 

If you answer "Yes" to any of the statements below, you just might need a Living Trust:

  • I want to avoid the Probate process

  • I own real estate or I have a mortgage

  • I own real estate in multiple states

  • I have minor children

  • I have a Special Needs Child

  • I have children from a previous marriage

  • I own assets from a previous marriage

  • I don't want to leave difficult decisions to my loved ones

  • I value my privacy

  • I want to leave a loving legacy

Some common goals of estate planning include:

  • Helping protect your assets against the high costs of long-term care

  • Managing your financial and legal affairs if you become disabled

  • Expressing your wishes with regards to medical care, and designating an individual to make medical decisions for you when you cannot

  • Providing for your family if you become disabled or die

  • Minimizing delays and frustrations of estate settlement

  • Helping your family avoid unnecessary estate tax liability

  • Benefiting a charity

  • Controlling the distribution of your assets

POD accounts and TOD securities work
(These WILL avoid Probate)
for financial accounts and securities
AND FOR NOTHING ELSE.

 

A WILL TELLS THE COURT HOW TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR ASSETS, BUT
 

A WILL STILL REQUIRES PROBATE.

Only a Trust avoids Probate AND allows for extensive tax benefits!
