UNDERSTANDING THE 4 CRITICAL ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Lessons Learned From Celebrities’ Mistakes
Celebrity deaths can be tricky for those directly involved and saddening for those who never met them. While
Celebrities who die without a will or estate plan create ample turmoil. Bob Marley, Prince, and Jimi Hendrix are examples you can research, but their stories remind us how important it is for all of us to have an estate plan. If you were to pass away without a will or estate plan in Ohio, probate would first look to transfer your assets to your spouse or children. They may look to your parents or siblings if you don’t have a spouse or kids. Probate looks for grandparents if you don’t have siblings or your parents aren’t alive anymore. It gets increasingly more complicated from there. To avoid unnecessary stress on your loved ones, you must maintain four critical documents as part of your estate plan. The first is a living trust, as this document ensures that your assets transfer outside of probate court. The next is a will; this serves as a catch-all outside the living trust. The other two documents are a healthcare power of attorney and a financial power of attorney. These documents allow someone to make decisions on your behalf regarding your finances and health. Having these documents in your estate plan will maximize privacy and ensure your wishes are honored. If you have any questions about these documents or want to create a foolproof estate plan that protects your family’s future and grants you peace of mind, call us today!
we may have never met these individuals personally, we’ve
spent hours watching them on television, in
movies, or playing sports. Sometimes, it can even feel like we’ve lost a friend. That’s how many felt when “Friends” actor Matthew Perry passed away last year at his
Los Angeles home. But, Perry’s death presents a unique opportunity to understand the importance of having an estate plan, as Perry did not have a spouse or any children at the time of his passing. Thankfully, he had a living trust that named his parents, half- sister, and ex-girlfriend as his beneficiaries.
