ESTATE PLANNING NEEDS EXPLAINED

Living Trust
A living Trust is the heart of a basic estate plan. For someone who is not legally trained, it is easiest to think of it as a personal corporation and is considered a separate legal entity from you as a person. It is created by someone (called the “Grantor,” or “Trustor”) for the benefit of someone else (the Beneficiary), and is then overseen by another person (called the “Trustee”). These three persons can be separate persons, or the same person. You can specify the Trust terms such as how funds are to be managed, what funds are given to whom, and more. Since it is a legal entity, it will survive death when you pass and will therefore not need to go through Probate.
Pour-over Will
A “Pour-Over” Will is one that directs that the property subject to it goes to (is “poured over” into) a Trust. Once the property is “poured into” the Trust, the Trust document then controls who receives it.
Protect What Matters
Whether your earnings, business interests, or loved ones. Feel confident that what matters to you is protected today.
Ancillary Documents
The ancillary documents are the Power of Attorney and Advanced Health Care Directive.
A Power of Attorney gives someone you choose the power to make legal decisions on your behalf should you no longer be able to make those types of decisions yourself because of mental incapacity from age, disease, or an accident.
An Advanced Health Care Directive does two important things: it directs healthcare provides on how you want to be treated if you’re incapacitated or if you’re on life support. It also provides a release from a federal law known as HIPPA that protects your health information. Without a release, loved ones may be denied health information to make an informed decision.
WHY DO I NEED AN ESTATE PLAN?
Simply put, it’s a confidential way to protect what matters to you
Having an estate plan can be the difference between saving thousands of dollars in unnecessary legal fees or undergoing a very expensive and public legal process with no guarantee of results.
This is because without an estate plan, your estate will likely be subject to probate.
Probate is the court process where the estate of a deceased person is administered. It typically takes a year or more and is a matter of public record. Even more so, the fee for a probate attorney is a percentage of what the estate is worth. A probate attorney is entitled to the first 4% of an estate valued at $100,000, 3% on the next $100,000 and so on.
A simple estate plan can save you and your loved ones all of this. It’s simply not worth the risk.
