The Path Of Least Resistance – When Institutions Hassle You During Trust Funding

We’ve spent many episodes discussing how important trust funding is to your estate plan (assuming a trust is a part of your plan). However, the process can be tedious at times. Many attorneys don’t handle the trust funding for the clients (or only provide minimal guidance), which can lead to further trouble. On top of that, various banks, employers, and investment firms can often frustrate clients even further. A good, experienced attorney should be able to navigate clients through any roadblocks, warn them of potential issues, and have options for how to finish the job when issues come up.

I’m Dead. Should My Spouse Keep Everything?

Many couples automatically assume that, after one spouse passes away, the survivor will retain control of everything. Certainly, that is the “default." However, certain factors can complicate matters. Issues of trust, control, blended families, and separate finances mean it is important to understand all of your options before deciding on the best plan.

How Many Backups Do I Need?

One of the most important parts of the estate planning process is choosing the right people as “fiduciaries” to handle affairs on your behalf if you get sick or pass away. This can include medical, financial, and legal decisions while living as well as managing your estate (and possibly children) after you are gone. While most understand the need to choose the RIGHT fiduciaries, many plans fall short by not picking ENOUGH of them. So how many backups do you need?

Should Your Lawyer Store Your Estate Planning Documents For You?

One option that some people use is allowing their attorney to store the original documents at their office. Tune in as Nick discusses what this looks like.
