Ep 72: Should Everyone Get An Equal Share?

When leaving an inheritance to children or grandchildren, many families prefer to treat everyone the same. Each child (or grandchild) will receive an equal share of the inheritance. While it is the “default” answer, it is not always the right answer. We will discuss some situations where it might not be ideal to leave an equal share to everyone.

Ep 71: ”I Didn’t Realize There Would Be a Medical Test!”

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. However, there are also specific decisions (usually medical) that a person will need to address during the process. For those who are blindsided by this process, it can feel like a medical school exam! Here are some common decisions you may be faced with when preparing your own estate plan.

Ep 70: When the End is Near...

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.

Ep 67: Show Me The Money……Later? Advantages To Leaving Your Inheritance In Trust

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.

Ep 66: What Happens When The First Spouse Dies? (The False Sense Of Security)

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”.

Ep 65: Does Your Estate Plan Have An Expiration Date?

Very few things in life last forever. Cars break down, cell phones become out of date, food goes bad, even a good bourbon can spoil if you don’t store it properly. Sadly, many people look at estate planning as a one-time activity (set it and forget it). While your estate plan might technically not have an expiration date, there are many times when it could end up “going bad” if not properly updated.

Ep 64: Future-Proofing Your Estate Plan

Many consider estate planning as the art of setting out your wishes while also trying to predict all of the “what ifs” that may or may not happen in the future. Obviously, unless you have a crystal ball, it is impossible to know the future. However, there are a number of predictable/potential what-if scenarios that a good estate plan should cover.
