Need a reason?

❤️ Your kids will be able to grieve you in peace, without chaos or crisis.

They won’t be stuck in court for months (or years), fighting over your inheritance.

That alone should be worth getting an estate plan.

Are we there yet? No.

Are we there yet? No.

Are we there yet? No!

🤯 If you’ve been there, you know how irritating that conversation is.

Guess what?

It’ll be the same with probate if your folks didn’t plan.

Probate takes a long time ⏰. And usually, clients get pretty fed up with the process and start asking that question.

If your parents had a trust, you wouldn’t have to deal with probate.

And that’s all there is to it.

06/25/2023

It really does feel good.

06/24/2023

You can do it!

First day of summer! ☀️

The lack of an estate plan only brings stress and hardship to your kids.

But when you DO have an estate plan, they won’t be overwhelmed with a crisis because you already laid out the plans for them.

Estate planning = peace of mind for them.

Happy Father’s Day from the Legacy Law Centers Team!

🚗 You’re driving down the road and see a billboard.

It says, “Keep driving to see the secret.”

Curiosity wins. You keep going.

You pass another billboard telling you the same thing.

Curiosity builds.

Just when you’re tired of driving, you see it. The final billboard with the secret.

But it’s not someone else’s secret; it’s yours. 😨

Your financial information, how much money you have…it’s all on the billboard. For everyone to see. 😨😨😨

That is what you can expect if you have a will or no plan at all.

It’s called probate, and after you pass away, your information will become public.

To AVOID probate, set up a trust. ✅

Not sure where to start with your estate plan?

✅ Here are a few easy steps to get you going:

Make a list of everything you own.
Decide who gets those things.
Name a guardian for your young kids (if you have any).
Make a plan for your future medical choices.
Make a plan for your future financial choices.
Get it looked over and finalized by a professional to be sure your wishes will be honored.

There we were…four angry siblings and myself. 😬

And all it took was one question for WW3 to break out.

“Your parent’s will states for the inheritance to be split equally. So, what do you want to do with their house?” I asked.

One wanted to sell the house.
Another wanted to rent it out.
The third wanted to keep it.
And the fourth stayed quiet.

Because the parents left it up to the kids to decide, and the kids disagreed, there was a lot of wasted time (and fighting).

Just something to consider for your kids.

06/11/2023

Before having kids, what did you think you would NEVER do once you become a parent?

Another perk to trusts (besides being wolf-proof):

They will be around much longer than we will be!

Do you have a bank account? Retirement account? Brokerage account?

There’s a little sneaky detail about these accounts, and when left alone, it can come back to bite you.

The detail?

👉 Whoever is listed as your beneficiary.

Here’s the big mistake most people make:

They set up the financial account, name the beneficiary, and then forget about it. The problem is…things change with time ⏰ . After 20-30 years, you might not want that person as the beneficiary anymore. Maybe you divorced. Or maybe they passed away before you did.

Time changes things.

Make sure you are OK with your beneficiaries.

🤔 Jane is confused.

Her older sister is not only the trustee (manager) of their parent’s estate but also a beneficiary.

Jane thinks something isn’t right. Can someone be both in an estate?

Yep, you can be both. 👍

It’s pretty common with spouses, actually.

Yes, Jane, your sister is OK to be both the trustee and a beneficiary.

You know what they say…

Where there’s a will, there are 500 relatives! 🤣

05/18/2023

🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️ Avoid the capital gains TAX by doing this one simple thing:

Gift your house to your kids AFTER you die (not before).

Why?

If you give your house to your kids after you’re gone, your heirs will be protected by something called Step Up In Basis. ✅

It’s like hitting the reset button.

So no matter how much your house has risen in value since you bought it, the step up in basis will “reset” and adjust the cost basis so your heirs won’t have to pay the tax on all of that increased value.

A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Whether you have young or grown-up kids…this show is a must-see.

👉 It hits the nail on the head with how upside-down our world becomes if there isn’t a plan for an inheritance.

Granted…

Not all of us have a diabolical Count Olaf trying to steal our money 😆 (thank goodness!).
