Protecting Assets – 3 Key Tips 1 Update Your Will With Every Major Life EventIt is important to review and update a Will regularly. Change in marital status, buying a home, children, divorce, death of beneficiaries and new tax laws are all reasons to update an existing Will. Keeping your Will up-to-date ensures that your wishes will be carried out in the event of death, and can keep your beneficiaries from having to engage in costly, emotionally draining and unnecessary court proceedings.
Protecting Assets – 3 Key Tips 2 Designate Beneficiaries and an Executor Beneficiaries are the people or organizations who receive property and the executor is the person designated to make sure a person’s wishes are carried out during the distribution of property. Your executor should be someone you trust to carry out and follow your wishes. Because your executor will have to deal with the legal and financial obligations of estate administration, it is a good idea to choose someone who has a head for finance, and can handle the responsibility.
Protecting Assets – 3 Key Tips 3 Share Your Will With Loved OnesIt is important to inform loved ones that they are included in your Will so they are not caught off guard upon your death. It is also important to let them know where your estate planning documents are stored so they can access, view and carry out your plan in a timely manner. By storing your Will safely and securely in the cloud, key family members have peace of mind to know exactly where to turn, saving time, money and hassle and most importantly prevent family conflicts.
