If you are planning to take another walk down the aisle, it is critical to take the time to review and revise your estate plan, especially if meaningful assets and debts are being brought into the marriage.
A will is a legal document, governed by the laws of each state, written to guarantee that your possessions will be left upon your death to the people or organizations you specify.
While the tasks of dealing with an estate after someone passes may be simple administration, the work associated with it is often quite complicated.
What are the advantages of putting assets into a trust?
The press has made much of the handwritten will that Larry King executed in the months before he died and in which he purports to change his prior will executed in 2015, to leave his estate equally between his children.
You don’t actually appoint someone power of attorney (POA). A POA is a document that you execute that allows someone to act on your behalf.
Just as you have trust in a relationship, trusting your document and those with responsibilities in the trust are crucial to obtaining your objectives.
Every estate plan should have a power of attorney, in which you give one or more people authority to act as agents on your behalf, when you aren’t able to. Every estate planner and guide to estate planning will tell you that. What few will tell you is there are at least two important instances when the power of attorney (POA) won’t be recognized and followed.
A will is a legal document that allows you to decide what happens with your estate after you passed away. Unfortunately, not all people consider creating one because they think that it’s complicated and just an extra expense.
Have you made any plans to distribute your assets and take care of your family, when you die or become incapacitated?
