Estate planning involves preparing documents that manage an individual's assets and estate in the event of their incapacitation or death. This includes the bequest of assets to heirs and the settlement of estate taxes. Estate planning ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, reduces taxes and other expenses, and provides for the financial needs of your dependents.
Probate is a legal process where a will is reviewed in court to determine whether it is valid and authentic. It's necessary when a person dies and leaves behind assets that need to be distributed under the supervision of a court. The process involves identifying and inventorying the deceased person's property, appraising the property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property as the will directs (or state law, if there's no will).
Yes, there are several strategies to avoid probate, such as creating a living trust, designating beneficiaries on accounts (like retirement accounts and life insurance policies), owning property jointly, and making gifts. Each strategy has pros and cons, and what’s appropriate varies by individual circumstances.
Incorporating your business can offer numerous benefits, such as protection from personal liability for business debts, tax advantages, and enhanced credibility. However, it also comes with increased paperwork, regulations, and possible tax obligations. It’s important to choose the right entity type based on your business goals, finances, and the level of separation you want between your personal and business assets.
It’s advisable to review and possibly update your estate plan after major life events such as marriage, divorce, deaths, births, the acquisition or sale of significant assets, or if you move to a different state. Additionally, revisiting your estate plan every three to five years can ensure it aligns with your current wishes and any changes in laws.
