YOU NEED AN ESTATE PLAN
If you pass away, what will happen to your family? Do you have an estate plan in place? Or, like many, have you been putting it off? An estate plan goes beyond deciding which money goes where when you die; it’s a system you put in place to ensure the well-being of your loved ones in your absence. If you die without a will, your relatives will be forced to go through probate court to claim ownership of your assets, often leading to nasty fights. Not only that, but if the state determines none of your heirs fit their succession formula, your assets may even become the property of the state. In addition, a will allows you to recommend a guardian to care for your children or dependent beneficiaries, which will be a vital consideration in the court-led guardianship decision- making process.
To secure the future of your family, it’s best to be prepared, regardless of your circumstance. To get started on your estate plan, first organize your financial information. Make a list of all your assets and liabilities, and find any actual deeds or statements to your property that may be important. Then, check and update your beneficiaries for any IRAs, life insurance, or other retirement or insurance plans. Talk with your family, determine how your assets will be distributed in the event of your death, and discuss funeral arrangements. Finally, you should seek the help of a certified estate-planning attorney to finalize your estate plan. An experienced attorney has a wealth of technical expertise in drafting documents correctly, and he or she will work to help you build a plan that works for you and your family. Even the smallest mistake during the estate planning process can have wide-reaching implications for your family after you’re gone.
