FAQs
Here are some common asked questions that can help you navigate the world of legacy planning.
If you die without a will, your property will be distributed by the state. The laws governing this process differ from state to state.
A living trust is an estate planning tool that allows you to control your assets while you are still alive. A living trust takes effect immediately after it is established, whereas a will takes effect after the creator's death.
A Last Will can also be called a testament. It is the document written by a testator that specifies what happens to the testator's property after death.
A Living Will is a written statement that details a person's wishes regarding medical treatment when they are no longer able to express informed consent.
There are three kinds of taxes: Income, Capital Gain and Estate. First, there’s very little we can do to reduce income taxes. However, Living Trusts are generally ‘income tax neutral’ and will neither reduce nor increase the income tax you owe. Capital gains taxes may be minimized or eliminated in Community Property states, thanks to the ‘step up in cost basis’ afforded to Community Property. Finally, estates larger than $11.58 million per person are generally subject to the Federal Estate Tax. Spouses may combine their individual estate tax exemptions to shelter up to $23.16 million from ‘death taxes’.
