Estate Plans And Their Benefits

Estate planning NYC deals with the process of managing a person’s estate in order to transfer it to their beneficiaries when the person dies. When done properly, it helps reduce the stress that the grieving family is experiencing. The main objective is that the person’s wishes are fulfilled and that their will be carried out when they are not in a position to execute it themselves.

Estate plans can be carried out through trusts, last will and testament, power of attorney, health care proxies, and the like. These documents are legal tools that will allow your family to carry on your wishes after you’re gone.

Steps to take to begin planning your estate

  • Gather documents – this includes gathering documents regarding your assets and liabilities. Bank accounts, investments, 401(k)’s, property titles, jewelry, art, valuable collections, vehicle titles, insurance plans, pension, loans, liabilities, among other things.
  • Consider who you want to bestow authority to. Think of who you want to be responsible for your medical, legal, and financial decision making. You will need to decide who will be the executor of your will.
  • Search for an estate lawyer – you need to ask them a lot of questions to make sure they are a match for you. This will include questions like:
  • How much do they charge?
  • What are the best ways to reduce tax payments with the estate plan?
  • Are there any possible issues with the way you want to carry out your estate plan?
  • What is the most efficient way to get your estate plan in order?

Steps to take to begin planning your estate

Creating an estate plan takes a lot of effort. It requires time, documents, legal fees, and a lot of thought. Despite this, there are many benefits to having it. These benefits include:

  • Reduced taxes – a well-crafted estate plan gives you the opportunity to gift certain assets such as stocks or gifting interests which are related to corporations. Once classified as gifts, their value is not included with the value of your estate, thereby reducing taxes. There are also other ways to reduce taxes depending on your situation.
  • Keeping peace in the family – without a proper estate plan to guide them, family members may argue about their shares and carry resentment among them for the way the assets were distributed. If your will was put into place, it becomes more difficult for them to argue.
  • Saving money – a lot of money can be wasted on probate procedures, especially if family members are disputing their shares. Estate taxes and legal fees may also take a toll on your estate. Having a good plan prevents these scenarios from occurring.
  • Peace of mind – with your estate planned, you know that your family will be well-taken care of and they’ll have less legal issues to deal with.
By having an estate plan in place you avoid having your estate going through a lengthy probate process and having the matter settled by a judge. When you decide you want to make your estate plan you should consult an estate lawyer in order to fulfill all the requirements necessary for your documents to be legally accepted.
