Estate Planning

Estate planning arranges for the transfer of an individual’s estate at the time of death. An estate consists of all property owned at death before it is distributed by will, trust, or intestacy laws. An estate may contain both real property (real estate, including houses and investment properties) and personal property (all other property, including bank accounts, securities, jewelry and automobiles). Estate planning benefits those with large estates, as well as those with modest assets. Creating an estate plan ensures that all property will be distributed according to the personal wishes of the deceased, and that those who are benefiting from the estate receive the largest distribution possible with a minimum amount of taxes and delay. Specifically, estate planning allows an individual to decide exactly who will benefit from their estate, and to what extent. Estate planning also ensures that the estate will not be destroyed by taxes imposed on the transfer of assets at death. In addition to providing financial security, estate planning encourages individuals to make important decisions, such as appointing a guardian for minor children, choosing healthcare preferences, and securing funeral arrangements.

Trusts

There are many different types of trusts, including the most popular revocable trust often referred to as a living trust, as well as QTIP trusts, credit shelter trusts, land trusts, special needs trusts, irrevocable trusts etc. Trusts such as credit shelter trusts and QTIP trusts are effective trusts designed to enable you to leave as much of your money and property to your loved ones and minimize inheritance taxes and probate fees. Irrevocable trusts are often used in connection with insurance and estate inheritance tax planning as a way to leave as much of your money and property to your loved ones tax free.

Cyber Legacy Planning

Cyber legacy planning involves the thoughtful management and disposition of one’s digital assets and online presence after their
passing. This includes considerations for social media accounts, email correspondence, cryptocurrency holdings, digital files, and other online accounts. In an era where much of our lives are intertwined with the digital realm, cyber legacy planning is crucial to ensure a smooth transition and the preservation of one’s digital legacy.

It is important because, without proper planning, digital assets and online accounts can become inaccessible or may be mishandled after
an individual passes away. Cyber legacy planning allows individuals to specify their preferences for how their digital presence should be managed, whether it involves closing accounts, transferring access to designated individuals, or preserving certain digital content. This proactive approach helps ease the burden on loved ones, provides clarity in managing the deceased’s online footprint, and respects the individual’s wishes regarding their digital legacy.
