one of the best ways to ensure that you can take advantage of these tax law changes when they arise. Legal Documents to Consider for Estate Planning Regardless of the size of your estate, you should consider addressing your own individual planning issues, in order to preserve your estate and make your

wishes known, preferably in writing. I recommend meeting with a qualified estate planning attorney to determine if you need a will prepared, based on your particular facts and circumstances. If you have no minor children, or if all

explain in this chapter. Please note that the names of some of these documents vary from state to state. Before I discuss the details of estate planning techniques, it is important to understand some of the key legal documents that may be needed in this planning process. An effective

, is a written document that provides instructions on how you would like to distribute your assets after death. It is the most popular and basic estate planning document, and also addresses many of your wishes and desires after death. (Here again, the term property does not apply only to real estate but

another person (named the trustor) for the benefit of a third person, (named the beneficiary). If used properly, a trust can be a very effective estate planning tool that also allows you to avoid postmortem (i.e., afterdeath) legal fees. Trusts differ from wills: they are separate legal entities. Like a will

When I have this difficult but necessary discussion with clients, they almost always tell me they would choose to not prolong their lives if

avoid going through probate or administration, and applying some of the strategies outlined in this chapter can accomplish this. Spending a few thousand dollars on estate planning while you are alive can ultimately save your beneficiaries a significant amount of money, headaches and delays. If you are a private person and do

probate or administrative processes. If you c10.indd 257 26/02/13 2:47 PM 258 Financial Independence (Getting to Point X ) do the proper estate planning while you are alive and well, you can pass your estate to your loved ones privately, without unnecessary delays and expenses; also, this process may

allow you to control your estate after death. Estate Planning Strategies That Keep You in Control after Death If you would like to have continued control of your estate after your death, there are several

or without some form of joint ownership, with or without beneficiary-designated contractual agreements, and with or without a trust. Understanding how each of these estate planning strategies works and interacts with one another is essential to properly controlling your estate after death. If you do not take all of these facts

into consideration during the estate planning process, the results could be dramatically different than what you had intended. What Happens to Your Estate When You Have a Will—and When You

and the fulfillment of your last wishes. I encourage almost everyone to have a will as the most basic estate planning strategy, especially if you are not willing to implement some of the other estate planning strategies. Another essential reason to have a will is if you have minor children. If both you and

estate will be distributed in accordance with the state intestacy laws. What Happens to Your Estate When You Have Beneficiary-Designated Contractual Agreements Yet another estate planning strategy to control your estate after death is through a contractual agreement by beneficiary designation. For example, if you have a retirement plan through your

these contractual agreements supersede the intentions you state in your will. What Happens to Your Estate When You Have a Trust Perhaps the most flexible estate planning strategy that allows you to control your estate before and after your death is by creating a trust. A trust can be created while you

it as a mechanism to significantly reduce your gift and estate tax liabilities. Later in this chapter, we will cover in great detail the many estate planning strategies that can be implemented with a trust. When evaluating whether a trust strategy is appropriate for you, you need to consider the upfront costs

children’s and grandchildren’s tuition directly to the institution and use this as one of your valuable estate planning tools. Ownership of Property and How It Is Transferred A critical part of the estate planning process revolves around how the ownership of property (this includes real estate and any other assets you hold

to get an income tax deduction from the costs of selling the property. Reasons for Creating a Trust As mentioned earlier, perhaps the most flexible estate planning strategy that allows you to control your estate before and after death is by creating a trust. A trust can be created while you are

children and retain a “life estate” interest in the property for themselves. This simple transfer is fairly common as it accomplishes the following benefits to estate planning: • It avoids probate or administration of your will when you die, with respect to this asset, as the property is already in your children’s

. • All future growth of the asset remains outside of the living estate of the trustor (transferor). These three points are critical components of several sophisticated estate planning techniques. The value of the gift can be significantly reduced based on the value of the retained interest by the transferor. Because the value of

implementing these strategies. Benefit from a Family Limited Partnership If you own a family business, rental properties, or a farm, you may have some additional estate planning hurdles to deal with down the road. If you are “hard-asset rich” but cash poor, your family may be faced with liquidity problems upon

the property you left behind for them, but they may be forced to do so to pay the estate taxes. The key goal of any estate planning strategy is to minimize estate taxes and to also provide the necessary liquidity when the time comes. The main objective is to preserve the estate

your family to continue to own and operate the family business, rental properties, or farm. Therefore, the formation of a family limited partnership is another estate planning strategy that you can use in these situations. A family limited partnership is typically established as a separate legal entity to hold and manage a

This is a very powerful estate planning strategy if you are able to take advantage of it. Estate Tax Planning and Life Insurance An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) is another

estate planning strategy that includes using a trust that can be set up to hold life insurance policies, preventing the proceeds from being included in your taxable
