Many people go through the estate planning process in order to provide for their loved ones and/or to allow someone to make decisions on their behalf if they fall ill.

Estate planning (like many things) is always best handled LONG before it is needed. However, even a well-thought-out estate plan should be reviewed periodically. If the family is aware that “the end is near”, it is always a good idea to review certain aspects of the plan and the wishes of the person who is about to pass away.

After someone passes away, the executor or trustee is responsible for carrying out the wishes of the deceased person and settling the estate. This could include paying bills, settling debts, filing taxes, selling assets, etc. Eventually, it is time for the beneficiaries to receive their inheritance. While it may be tempting to “take the money and run”, this may put their inheritance immediately in danger. Those who are receiving an inheritance from a trust may have opportunities to protect the money they receive from current (or future) problems.

When someone passes away, the “what happens next” is usually dictated by the decedent’s estate plan (if they had one), or by state law, if there was no plan. However, there are special circumstances that apply when a married person passes away but their spouse is still alive. Often times, a family may end up getting “lucky” and avoid some of the major headaches. However, this is not always the case. It can also lead families into a false sense of security because “nothing bad happened when my spouse died”.
