Estate Planning

Protect Your Family From Estate Seizure

Estate Planning is all about protecting assets when you die or become incapacitated for any reason. It can be a complicated process.

Lai & Turner can help you set up an estate plan that will protect your assets from probate, excessive death taxes, family squabbles, and even seizure by the state. Estate Planning is not just for rich people. With Estate Planning, any individual or family is assured that their wishes are carried out when tragedy strikes.

Your First Step to Creating a Comprehensive Estate Plan

Inventory Your Assets

This may seem straightforward, but you will need to list everything of value that you own and would wish to be protected from state seizure if you were to die suddenly. More importantly, these are assets that you would wish to be immediately available to your heirs, such as bank accounts or cars, for example.

Next, you will want to determine how you wish these assets to be distributed upon your death or incapacity. It’s not always obvious to your family or the state how you would wish your assets to be divided and distributed, which is why probate becomes necessary when a person dies without a will.

Here are some assets to include in your estate planning:

• Business Ownership
• Checking and Savings Accounts
• Collectibles
• Life Insurance
• Motor and Recreational Vehicles
• Personal Possessions
• Real Estate
• Retirement Accounts
• Stocks and Bonds

You may have other assets not listed above. It is also possible that you may not own an asset outright but have only a percentage of the dollar-value share of an asset.

Estate Planning Basics

Estate planning helps you determine who receives your assets and handles the responsibilities after you die or become incapacitated. Estate planning lets you adjust your estate plans whenever your financial and personal situations change.

Important Tip

You must identify all your assets so that they are all transferred or conveyed into a trust or, alternatively, that title is held in such a way that probate may be avoided upon your passing. Once you have developed and executed an estate plan, it is important to periodically review the estate plan to confirm that it still matches your end-of-life or incapacity wishes. Over time, your personal and financial situation may change requiring modification to your initial estate planning documents.
