What is Estate Planning? Everyone needs a good Estate Plan because everyone has something they care about and people they don’t want to inconvenience. You may think you don’t have a lot, but it doesn’t matter how much you have. If you lock your doors when you go out, it means you have “stuff” that you care about. If you fail to plan for getting this “stuff” somewhere else, then the people who come after you will have to go to a lot of trouble and expense to figure it out for you. Good Estate Planning means creating a way to give what you want, to whom you want, when you want, the way you want, while minimizing the taxes and attorneys fees you and your loved ones need to pay now, and after you are gone. A good Estate Plan includes a way of transferring title to the things you own now, to someone else after you have passed away. If you don’t create a way to do this, only the Probate Court will have the power to make the transfer. In general, the documents that can get this done, are a will or a trust. Your Estate Plan should include a will or a trust. But that’s not all. Estate Planning also means planning for incapacity. In other words, what if you get sick and can’t handle your own affairs? Who will have the legal authority to take care of you? Good Estate Planning means thinking and planning for this unhappy, but not so unlikely event, as well. To do this, everyone needs a durable financial power of attorney, a durable power of attorney for health care, and a living will. For more information on Estate Planning, see Mr. Rubin’s detailed advice on Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Living Wills, under “Areas of Practice”, on the left.
